First Generation iPod Nano Video Question?

Apr 25th, 2008

Is there any way to make my older non-video ipod nano display video (without damaging the firmware)? A picture of it is attached below, and it is the 4GB model.

Not officially. It's actually possible to put Linux on the iPod Nano (although it seems as though 2nd and 3rd generation Nanos are unsupported), but with this running you can play videos, games, and run all sorts of other Linux applications.

See http://ipodlinux.org/Main_Page if you're interested.
