Topic: IPOD Touch

not sure if I am posting to the right area.. I've experienced a problem with the new IPOD touch unit, it never seems to get found by the Chumby.
I have rebooted with the ipod attached and turned on, yet nothing. To verify I took my wife's IPOD nano and it was found right away..
Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Re: IPOD Touch

The iPod Touch does not operate in the same manner as the other iPod units.  Our support for the iPod relies on the device mounting as a USB mass storage device, however, the iPod Touch uses a completely proprietary USB protocol.

While there has been some progress in reverse-engineering this protocol by some hackers, to my knowledge they have only succeeded in accessing certain directory information, but not the tracks themselves.

This means that the iPod Touch is not supported by the chumby device.
