Can you / is there any point to Jailbreaking a iPod Classic? - Jordan L. - 11-06-2009

As the title says ^
Can you jail break a iPod Classic? And if so, is there any point to it?

It's not possible as far as I know. Get an iPod touch.

Nope, not possible. Even if it was, there would be no point. No wifi, unless you can SSH EVERYTHING. =\

Ahh, lame. I would get and iPod touch, but I recently got this 120gb iPod Classic for Christmas las year, I couldn't sell it yet and I don't have enough money to buy one yet anyway.

You can probably throw Linux on it.

You CAN do a sort of jailbreak... it pretty much just skins it and adds some cool features. I can't remember what its called, I'll have a quick look for you...

Rockbox maybe?
Yep! I was right... RockBox:

A little less "hardcore" mod:

One of my mates had RockBox and it looked pretty freakin cool.
