I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I actually did this awhile back and it was sort of a joke. It couldn't process mp3s fast enough so the quality wasn't there. It also didn't have a sleep function so battery drain happened insanely fast. They might have fixed these problems since then but back then it was like some sort of sick joke.

Anybody want to test this for 4G compatability before I take the chug?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

Well, according to the big bold text on the main page,
Quote
The fourth generation click wheel, mini, U2, Photo, and Shuffle iPods are NOT currently supported. For the latest information on 4th gen development, read the Fourth Generation Project Status.

Do you think that means they aren't supported?

Yeah, but does Microsoft support VirtualPC on Windows XP home? Nope, they only support it on pro. Does it mean it doesn't work? No, it works like a charm.

Did you read the page they reference? They explain why 4G don't work.

The frontpage is outdated. If you read the forums over there you will see that it does infact have support for 4g ipods now.
