Hackers Rule: iPod 5 and 5.5G Get Firmware Upgrade to iPod Classic

[iMav]

Unlike with the Zune upgrade,Apple didn't back-port all the new features in the iPod classic to theiPod 5 and 5.5Gs, even though the hardware wasn't all that different.

Good news for you, because hackers have figured it out themselves andreleased an upgrade so you can get in on the new menu action. From whatwe've heard, the custom firmware is a little quirky and doesn't quitework as well as the real thing (and doesn't have Cover Flow), butdevelopers have been updating this with bug fixes to bring it up tospeed—but it's still buyer beware at this point.
