I have checked out the alternatives but my model is not supported (it's only about 2.5 to 3 years old) and the last time I checked some of these alternatives have very limited functionality. That of course says nothing to the fact that the iPod's audio output quality is pretty poor, this is a hardware issue. It certainly isn't up to the lowest expectations of most audiophiles.

To my knowledge there is no SDK for the iPod and all these stated alternatives came about by the hard work and reverse engineering of all you very talented hackers/developers and has nothing to do with Apple's cooperation.

I can put music on the iPod and it is fuctional in a limited fashion. I will never buy another iPod.

I similarily do not see the iLiad as closed off either. All I said is that we all need to exercise a little patience!

It was not my intent to put a stick into the hornet's nest! Jeez!
