Im sure most of you have heard about the http://ipodlinux.org project. I recently joined their Dev team and I so im helping port the kernel to the most recent ipod models.

EDIT:

It looks like Apple has released a new series of Ipod. Since the ipod photo is no more, I think I will sway my efforts to porting the kernel to the newer generation. Freeipods.com has updated their products, so I think I'll go with them. http://ipods.freepay.com/?r=10145250 is my refferal link. Thanks again.

lloydkirk1989! Havent seen ya ina long while here

. hmm sound like an interesting project. But I have two question: why does the referal link redirects to Microsoft front page? O-o and do I need a credit card or something to help out?

EDIT: (I hate caps lock)

Yeah, well Ive been busy. Sorry, link fixed. Credit Card? yes But dont worry, its not a scam. I know many poeple who have done this and gotten their ipod.

now if only my parents would allow me to get one... they are anti-credit cards

I guess I'll have to wait until I move out of my parents house next summer

The project sound very interesting though and I hope you can get an Ipod Photo

i wish it would work on my 4th gen, but it only works on 3rd gen on down.

Thanks for support guys.

Kevin: Do you have your own credit card? If you do, just sneak onto your computer when your parents aren't around. Seriously though, you're not going to get some random $10,000 charge one day. Try to convince your parents of the validity of this offer, they can read more about the company at freepay.com. It explains how the thing works. I belive CNN wrote a article at one time about freeipods.com, im sure if your parents read that, they wouldn't be so anti-credit card.

rivereye: It does work with the 4th gens. Its just "not officialy supported".

well I dotn have a credit card at all

, if I had one I would help and maybe even donate to UTI (actually I trust this offer I saw this somewhere if I remember)

and I would like to get a omnimaga.com or omnimaga.net domain name as well

do you have any way of knowing how many ppl helped so far?

lloydkirk1989 · « **Reply #7 on:** October 11, 2005, 03:32:00 pm »

Yeah, when you login to the site, there is a status link, where you can find out how many have signed up via your refferal link. Ofcourse you only get the credit if the person you reffer completes an offer. For the freephotoipods.com site you need to refer 8 people. The freeipods.com site only needs five. So far, I have 1 person signed up(Kevin), but zero have completed an offer.

I hope lot of ppl will help. Where did you posted this besides UTI and Omnimaga? Maybe you should post this on Revsoft as well (maxcoderz forums seems to be down)

I posted this at Maxcoderz, UTI and here. Revsoft is next, but if you know of any other active forums, gimme me a link.

Spellshaper: Have you ever heard of Visa-Buxx? You don't have to be 18 to use it. Thats what I use.

WOW...the new ipods are out and they can play video! I hope freeipods.com updates their products.
