Hi William,

There is a working GUI demo but its functionality is very limited, there is a
basic menu, and a file directory browser.  From the browser it can display
jpeg or text files.  We play to add simple mp3 playing support to this
shortly.  In the mean time a beta is available from [1].  Just copy this to
the sbin directory on your ipod and modify the /etc/rc to include
/sbin/podzilla as the last command.

There is also a fairly good mp3 player.  Because its not integrated into
podzilla you have to run it from the command line (via telnet) or put it in
the /etc/rc file.  You can download it at [2].

I have also just added the MacOS version of the bootloader.  Its available
from the project filles section [3].

cheers,
bern.
