Does anyone remember how to play breakout on the iPod. I tried to go to the website (that was posted on MacNN a month or so ago), but they must've pulled it.

Also, is there any way to get it to actually boot up (show the Apple logo, etc) without plugging the firewire cable in??

from the main menu screen, choose the about menu item and hold the small circular button down until the game appears.

Well, the only way to see the logo is to manually reset the iPod by holding down both MENU and the PLAY buttons for several seconds.

And about the Breakout thing, it gets damn hard, I tell you!

Agreed, the breakout game is crazy after a while. The most I was able to get was about 580, its just too damn hard to keep your lives after a while with the multiple balls and everything.
