So is iPodLinux going to render obsolete your personal digital assistant (PDA) or
notebook computer? Probably not??”at least not today. For serious business, you
need more than just an iPod. Where iPodLinux really shines is in enhancing your
iPod??™s entertainment value, not to mention your standing in your circle of friends.
In a world where everyone else has the same old iPod, you certainly won??™t lose
any peeing matches when you whip out your Linux-enhanced configuration.
You??™ll like the price, too. It??™s free of charge. Linux comes from the planet of
open-source software, where proprietary is a dirty word and people work for
the fun and glory of it, all for the simple pleasure of others, and iPodLinux is
offered in the same community spirit.
