Title: 2gb Nano - Just want to confirm
Post by: malice on October 13, 2008, 08:59:17 AM
Hey guys, heard about this on Leo Laporte's FLOSS podcast, and this looks great.

I have what I THINK is a 2nd gen nano. (brushed silver finish, tall and narrow)
I downloaded the installer and it says its not supported....

From the releases though, it looked like it was supported...

That is what it looks like....
Am I missing something?

The picture you're linking is the iPod Mini, not the iPod Nano. They look similar, but are different players. Trust the list of supported players, don't try to guess by pictures.
