I just extracted the partitions from the 4G Nano firmware file using extract2g, and I stumbled apon some interesting results. It turns out that the 4G has many more partitions than the typical three (osos, aupd, and rsrc). I found appl, chrg, rsrc, bdhw, diag, bdsw, disk, lbat, osos, instead. Note that it does not have the aupd partition. Here is what I think these are for, in order: Apple booting logo, charging, filesystem, bad hardware error, diagnostic mode, bad software error, disk mode, low battery, and firmware. I don't know if this has already been discovered, but I just wanted to point it out. Another thing that might be worth looking at is the hash.fw partition in the 3G Nano and 6G iPod. These are probably not of any use because they are filled with 6KB of FF's.
