Hi all,

I just bought a 3G 15GB iPod (yeah it's old but i was never planning on buying one in the first place, and I got it cheap.) Hopefully it will be a good acessory to along with my PowerBook. Anyways, I was wondering if someone could refer me to a good site that provides information on things you can do to/with your iPod other than just listening to music. I've heard of people installing Linux and such other things on their iPod.

Here you go...

I have a 3G pod and installing Linux was worth it for the recording alone! There are other apps and games there. It is amazing what an iPod can do when "freed" of the Apple limitations.

Hey, don't knock it... I prefer the 3G's over the 4G's anyday... (each to their own I guess) - but I recently got a good price myself on a 3G iPod, 20gb version, to replace my existing 15gb (which I'm giving to my folks) - enjoy your iPod!
