After much debate I finally decided to throw caution to the wind and go ahead and attempt to put the firmware mod on my iPod. I wrote about it a few days ago and figured that perhaps it would be helpful if I were to try myself.

The final result…pretty good. I like the look of it and it runs quite well, with the promise of further updates it will only get better. The installation was very quick and painless if you find instructions for it and it all went on well.

I would like to make one thing clear about this though and that is this: This firmware modification is in no way a direct substitute for the actual iPod Classic firmware and shouldn’t be taken as so. It is a very close replication of it but in no way is it exact. With that said I would suggest you try it and see what you think. I will definitely be keeping it, I think its great!
