Anyone See The Screen Savers iPod Hacking Segment Today?

Today, they had a segment on replacing the iPod battery.
Christopher Breen, the author of 'Secrets of the iPod,' was there.

It was quite interesting seeing the iPod battery and how to replace it.
But the title of the segment was 'iPod Hacks.' I was expecting more than just replacing the battery.

Even though it was kind of short, I enjoyed it and learned a bit about the battery. I'm eager to buy the 3rd Edition of the book!

It was interesting to see the taken apart ipod.

Another tidbit - for an extra 10 buck, the company will replace the ipod battery for you - might appeal to the less adventuresome among us! The company is PDASmart and here's the URL for the ipod page - http://www.pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter.htm

You gotta remember the show is pressed for time since it's only an hour long. If you really want to know stuff, get the book they showed. It seemed interesting.

I think they're showing more.
The entire week is on hacking.
So I think they're gonna show an iPod hacking segment each day.

Well they don't show the entire segment, just highlights.
torchedlh: they used all generations.

I was kind of dissapointed, they only showed the battery and hard drive, not things people usually worry about. I wanted to see some firmware hacking!
