Engadget reports:
iDoom now available on iPod nano
iPod nano owners lube up your chainsaws ‘cause iDoom is now available for your fragging kicks. Check check, check out the vid ‘cause performance is rockin’ compared to the previous release we saw running on older gen iPods. Caution: this requires iPodLinux (podzilla) which is a fairly risk free install in our experience but could void your warranty. The 5G (video) iPod is not supported nor is sound … yet. But what does that matter to you, soldier … you’re the only human left alive!
Anyone have the guts to try this out?

@maddav: Cool! what color?
Btw, iDoom uses podzilla(iPod Linux), you will loose your warranty by installing podzilla on your ipod.

In order to use iDoom, you need iPod Linux installed on your ipod.
What are the risks?
Step 1: Make sure that a version for your iPod is available here
Step 2: Download the installer (for windows), from here or from here (for mac)
Step 3: Follow these instructions, to install iPod linux in place of apple's ipod OS.
Step 4: Load it up! Now that you have linux up and running, you may want to install programs like web browsers, games, video/audio players. Get them here.
iPod Linux was initially made so that people who had the older 1G/2G/3G/1G mini/2G mini/4G color etc. coukd watch video's on their iPod's, but as you can guess, the developers soon realised the power of linux and started making other software too.
Please Note: You MUST read : What are the risks? before installing it.

Just a quick correction to your Step 3: you don't "install iPod linux in place of apple's ipod OS" - it is installed alongside the iPod OS. None of your music or other files on the iPod are touched by installing Linux.
You can easily switch between the iPod OS and Linux by resetting the iPod and choosing which OS to boot from in the new boot menu.

Joolsg4 do you have a video ipod at all. Would love a review if possible if you have one.
Hoping to get a video ipod soon, i was also wondering whether the universal dock will work with the ipod video?
It says it is on the apple website but when i looked at one in selfridges the box didnt mention the video ipod.
Just wanted to clarify this.
Cheers

I don't have the new iPod (with video) just my 1 year old iPod photo! I'm gonna stick with that for the time being as I can watch stuff on my PSP (although the extra capacity of the iPod sure would be handy, instead of expensive momory sticks!)
The universal dock is compatible with all iPods - it (and all iPods) come with adapters to fit every model.
Possibly the packaging for the dock was made before the new iPod came out.

Thanks for clearing that up, the dock and remote would be very handy to have. I just hope griffin release an italk for it very soon then i will take the plunge and buy one.
It is very annoying how non of the accessories work especially the remote, hopefully apple will release another version soon.
I think you should too and do a review for all us ipod lovers
