unexpected guest

I recently got my hands on a 2nd Generation iPod Touch, it’s been definitely an experience

I love its size and how lightweight it is after getting over the bootloop I noticed the beauty of its OS, and the zoom in animation when opening apps is unbeatable

due to the age of the device I needed a way to leave its home button alone, so I jailbroke it

despite its age, I managed to find compatible tweaks and a lot of websites work with a couple of fixes installed

I wonder if there’s a working no-computer way to add media to it, I found PwnTunes, but it tried to fetch a trial license from an already shut down server and did not sync because of that

I also tried IPA Installler CLI, but it seems like this device’s CPU architecture isn’t compatible with that tool, so I couldn’t

for now it’s a tech playground, but I would like to find a use case for it, and if I can’t I would think about selling it, I already own a music device and it’s easier to work with that one

have you ever got an iPod Touch?

Yes, it was my first iOS device. First gen iPod touch. Hard to overstate how incredibly magical it felt at the time. It was a thin slab of glass which enclosed a powerful computer. I’ll never forget its awesomeness.

Long ago I ran Rockbox on iPods. Not sure if that's still a thing.
