Doom for iPod now works on the nano
How cool: Doom now works on the iPod nano. Dave Caolo posted about Doom on the iPod back in August, but apparently the wonderful coders behind all this have been busy with updates. I haven't had time yet to fire this up on my nano (huge presentation to prepare for today) but I will this weekend. If you try this, there's two parts to the process: first you have to load up iPodLinux, which might void your warranty (but who needs those anyway). Next you can snag the actual iDoom app. From their FAQ's it looks like all iPods are now supported but the latest 5G with video, but sound isn't supported at all just yet. If anyone tries this before I do, especially on a nano, submit your comments on the experience and iDoom's performance.[via Engadget]

The big news here is the fact that the Nano effort at iPodLinux project has advanced this week! I can't wait to load mine up!

Just loaded it up on my iPod Photo. Took about 5 minutes total. I think it's kind of a pain to play, but hey, it's an iPod, not a PSP. The other thing I noticed is that the image looks horrible, as if you're looking at the LCD sideway or something. The LCD on the Photo is not built for video. Can anyone else give a crack at explaining this anomaly?

From what I can tell there is not yet a gui for installing iPodLinux on the nano. It looks like it'll be out soon though. Check out ipodlinux.org for updates. Can't wait!
