I don't know about you guys, but I have big hands and my iPod is just too damn small. The problem I've been having is that it's hard to use the wheel with one hand, so I've found an ingenious idea:

Use your iPod upside-down.

It's easier for me to control it with the wheel at the top because my thumb is long and gigantic. Think the screen could be hacked to flip it 180º?

I never thought I'd hear of anybody complaining about an iPod being too small.

You could always get one of these. I'm sure your hands are not too big for it.

Put it in a Marware padded case, keeps it safe and makes it a bit bigger.

Cut your hands off. Then you can get small prosthetic ones.

You're right, it is much easier to read the screen upside down.
