I absolutely live by Pod2Go from Kainjow Software. RSS feeds, Stickies, weather, etc. all sync up on my iPod now, pretty-as-you-please.

Previously you had to do all those scary, nasty manual steps to install Linux on the iPod. Lovely. Linux made, Mac simple.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

Has anyone gotten this to work on the new color 20GB ipod? I install it but the screen just goes blank. It'll play music, but I have to fumble around the interface since I can't see anything.

It wouldn't be Linux if installs went smoothly on all machines ;-)
