it's not on there...it's just resting, if i was going to swap the logo it'd get it done so it looks original...just having it sit there all sticking out ruins the feel of the device...

I can understand why you'd want to do that because Ipods are so common now thats whats stopping me from buying one, I like having stuff thats a bit different and sticks out instead of just copying everyone else stuff.

Not sure about why you would put the sony thing ont he ipod but the linux one is so you can use it via linux, no itunes crap...essentially it is another OS for the ipod. Not that I want one but it is a suggestion.

iPod linux is only for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Gen iPods, not 4th Gen, Mini or Photo iPods....

I think my iPod is great, saves me carrying out heaps of CD's for a discman, great quality product and perfect for my needs. What I don't use for music, I use to put videos or photos from my digital camera on there until I get home, when on trips.

Have fun screwing around with it!

I picked up the 30gb a couple of weeks ago. This weekend i grabbed the iTrip FM transmitter and a car charger and cradle. Now all i need to do is tune the radio to 102.2 (the frequency i picked) and all my iPod music runs through the car crystal clear. Saves messin around with cd's!

HAHA nice one selekta!!

with the new alpine head units you can buy an iPod adapter, my mate Brett has one - it works like a CD stacker with 40,000 songs... its brilliant. The sound quality is even better than a cd.
check out the Alpine Website - they have an utterly useless demo there.

now if only i could afford the adapter... and the iPod... bwaaaaargh *runs off crying*
