Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] How to destroy our iPod :)

Hi Mathieu,

Sure the scroll whell on the 3g works fine.  At the moment only usb and audio
are not working on the 3g.  I'm really hoping to get the audio going soon but
sofar no luck.  I haven't even looked at usb.

No problems with the English ;)  Actually sometimes on the irc channel there
are some other French native speakers so you might like to try there sometime.

cheers,
bern.
