   Has anyone made any progress on downloading and decompiling (to 
assembly) the iPod firmware code?  True, we don't have symbol 
information for the images (and won't, unless they release DDKs for the 
iPod at some point).  I'm wondering if there's anything in there that 
looks like the ARM RDI (remote debugging interface), or maybe even (if 
we're very, VERY lucky, which is very unlikely) something that looks 
like the old Hammer protocol used on Newton (protocol is being 
deciphered by Fillip Zawadiak, poke around at 
http://philz.freezope.org/newton).
