[Ipodlinux-devel] hello

[Florin B. <fl...@bn...>]

hi everyone!

this project sounds very interesting -- i own an ipod (mac version) and 
an ibook, running both os 9.2 and linux.

i'm very interested in running linux on my ipod, for two reasons:

(1) the possibility of playing OGG files. i read on the website that 
it's almost possible (80% realtime). any chances in the near future of 
that becoming real-time?

(2) the possibility to change my ipod's behavior. ipod has some really 
nice features, but it would be simply great to be able to change those.

as i understand from your website, there is some work to be done in the 
area of drivers and GUI.

as soon as i get home i'll try to reproduce the work as described on the 
website (that is making the linux kernel boot).

is there at the time being any serious effort to make the ipod usable 
with linux, or is work more or less stalled?

i'm familiar with c/c++, and i also wrote some linux character devices 
(mainly for big CCD cams). i'm aware that this might not be enough to 
undestand all implications of the ipod/linux hack, but i'm learning fast :-)

is there anything special i can attempt?

regards,
florin.
