Apple Ipod Nano + Linux = Saab Videos

Posted on 17. Nov, 2006 by Ryan in 2000-2009, Finland

I have finally been able to take the first edition Apple Ipod Nano and install the Finnish Operating System, Linux onto it and as a result, I can play any of my favorite Saab videos on it. The catch is that the videos must first be converted to the same screen resolution of the nano and be in an uncompressed format. I have provided a video below of my test, although the video quality is superb on the Nano, the recording of this from my digital camera in movie mode does not do the quality justice at all.

For more information on converting your Ipod Nano to the Scandinavian Operating System, Linux, please visit this website http://ipodlinux.org/

“Linus was born in Helsinki, Finland, the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds, and the grandson of poet Ole Torvalds. His family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority (roughly 5 %) of Finland’s population.”
