How to video on iPod Rockbox installation for 5th generation
Posted in: iPod | October 15th, 2007
This is a great how to video showing you Rockbox on the iPod 5th generation. Try it out and see if it works for you.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Rockbox is a free software replacement for the firmware held on various forms of digital audio players (DAPs). Rockbox offers an alternative to the host device’s operating system firmware (in many cases without removing the original firmware) which provides a plug-in architecture for adding various enhancements and functionality to DAPs which are not present in the original OS.

[..YouTube..] nope, the firmware is completely erased and there is NO trace of any other alternative OS on the iPod. I don’t even think it voids the warrenty because you can ALWAYS just resore it.
