what about lunux, does that work?

12/23/2005 7:29:18 PM

does the nano not play videos?

12/23/2005 8:05:26 PM

good for him even though the video ipod can't last over an hour playing videos... i'm sure the nano is much better...


btw... i had and archos av340 w/ linux cause it just made it a pain to do what i could do anyway w/o it
ohh and the factory software is linux based anyway


but this is cool.... good for him.... he could watch porn on it and it would be almost like it was auto edited...cause its so small.

thats cool as hell.

I wonder how he did it..I want to get my nano to do that!

too bad he couldn't find something not totally gay to demonstrate the video capabilities with.
