Apple has created a line of media driven consumer electronics that are more easily customizable then many other MP3 and video products out there. Here is a list of hacks that you can use on your Apple consumer electronics.
- Rockbox is freeware that can be installed as a supplemental OS to the basic and boring Ipod interface. I have the video Ipod and was able to easily install this program by the following a Rockbox tutorial from YouTube. You have options to add games like Doom, change the background and theme settings, switch back and forth between interfaces to save batteries, etc.
Consumer Complaints Warning: this freeware will kill your battery life forever.
- If your car receiver as RCA outputs you can connect your Ipod through the use of an AV cable.
- Installing Linux through the many online tutorials to your Ipod can be a great way to increase functionality. Once installed you can put game emulators from all of your favorite vintage consoles.
