    does anyone know how this is getting on?

    i'd love to own an ipod again, despite their crappy OS and silly restrictions their controls are second to none, they are slim and with rockbox i'd be not limited to just aac m4a and mp3's.

    i know rockbox works on the 4th gen ipod, but have they made any headway on the 5th gen?

    the 5th gen works with rockbox, just not the 5.5gen.

    From the website:

    Apple: iPod 4th gen (grayscale and color), 5th/5.5th gen (Video - 30GB and 60GB models only), 1st gen Nano and Mini 1st/2nd gen (Nano 2nd gen and 80GB Video 5.5th gen are not supported)

    IPodLinux (www.ipodlinux.org) recently got their project working with 5.5g ipods though.
