Envious of the new iPods? A firmware hack’s come out that lets you have the nice, split screen interface of the new nano and classic on your old and creaking 5G or 5.5G video iPod. Although not exactly the same, it also gives you redesigned Now Playing and mini Now Playing screens as well.
There have been spotty reports of brickage, so be warned. The hack, available on iPodWizard.net, has a lot of warnings carefully posted on the page and you would do well to read them. It requires you have the latest official firmware, and that you have iPodWizard 1.3.7.
Oh, it’s also Windows only, and this time it’s the Mac folks that are SOL.
In my opinion, it’s not worth the risk. But it’s your call. As usual, caveat hax0r.
