Personally, I would sell it and buy a N800. I don't know much about the Touch, never having owned an iPod, but I can tell you that several sites offer a flv(Flash) to * service. vixy.net is one. You can also use mencoder to transcode the flv to some other format[1]. 1. http://www.linux.com/feature/56642 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
