hey everyone,
i felt like it was time that i got an mp3 player, so i ebay-ed that s**t, and was able to find a great ipod nano 3rd gen knockoff which also reads ebooks and voice records and plays FM radio among many other features. im very happy i bought it. the thing is tho, that it is only 1GB in memory. less than sufficient in my case. ive read a few tutorials where people h@ck the ipod (actual product) and switch the "micro drive" with a Compact Fash card, and reload the Appl3 firmware and essentially have an ipod with a flash based memory. well see, thats what i want. Ive already got a 4GB CF card and it would be really great it if i could use it instead of the 1GB "micro drive" included in the Ipeed (knockoff). the only thing is that i dont want to lose the FM, ebook, voice reord etc.. capabilites. i want to be able to keep all the features and just upgrade the memory capacity. at first i thought that there might be a way that i could clone the firmware from the Ipeed onto my pc, switch the memory component in the unit and flash the new memory (CF card) with the firmware ive got on the PC. but im not really sure if thats even the way to do it, or how to go about it. i'd really appreciate any sort of advice on this issue. thanks a bunch guys. later, off to get my hair cut.

i dont even want to look up the ipeed, as that was a joke name of the ipod a while back when the guy in asia developed the battery that ran off liquids aka pee. ipod + pee battery = ipeed lol

when i first saw one, i called it the iStupid cuz one of my friends bought one that looks just like the ipod nano and is 2gb, and he was braging about how it can play mp4's while the ipod nano cant then i told him the nano can and he got flushed then i asked him how much he paid for it, he said 130. I just laughed at him and told him ill call it the iStupid. but if you get it way cheaper then the ipod nano, its a good buy. i never knew it was called the ipeed though lol

no its a knockoff, i already bought one and if my dig cam worked i would upload a pic. anyways the reason i ask if there are any hack is because i ran across this tut: Click me...and i thought that possible, maybe a similar thing can be done it this case. |

its a real knockoff, the ui doesnt look anything like that, its all blueish and has alot more stuff on the screen compared to the real ipod. you could do that with the mini because it had the size and the capabilities to do it, i dont know of a ipod that you can still do that to because the videos have the top size mini hdd's available on the market already and nano's are flashed based built onto the board. |
