The world of Pod modding
The iPod has become more than a simple music player. It now plays video, it features games, and (in the case of the iPod touch) it runs third-party applications. It's basically a pocket computer. And like any other computer, it can be tinkered with to do more than it was originally programmed to do.
While the iPhone brought attention to the world of "jailbreaking" devices, there's a thriving community of technology enthusiasts happily modifying iPods, giving them new functions, custom skins and unofficial applications. Hacking into iPods is easier than ever. There are Web sites that provide the tools and techniques and thousands of smart iPod modders ready and willing to help out in online forums.
It should be noted, though, that just about any under-the-hood tinkering with an iPod or iPhone will void the device's warranty. But for the brave souls willing to risk it, the world of iPod hacking awaits.
