Just installed Podzilla – aka Linux for the iPod – onto my 4G iPod photo. My advice? Don't bother just yet. It'll be worth it when they get all the features up and running and you're fed up with the low frequency audio sampling available with the iPod's built-in OS: Podzilla let's you go all the way up to 88Hz audio sampling, rather than the 8Hz sampling available natively.
I'll keep my eye on it though: it'll be nice to be able to use my Griffin iTalk for recording phone interviews. Right now, it's way too soft. I haven't yet braved using my Belkin Universal Microphone Adaptor to record an interview, preferring my Olympus DS-330, its compressed DSS files and its OS X-friendly dictation software. Still the thought of having WAV files that will work in Express Scribe, the Mac version of which doesn't play DSS files, is extremely tempting.
