How to Add a background image to your iPod nano

iPodWizard.net have figured out how to add a background image to first-generation iPod nanos.

All you need is a firmware patch supplied by the authors. It’s a command-line installation, but not a terribly complicated one. If you want to use a different background image than the one supplied, you’ll need the free iPodWizard utility for Windows, which, incidentally, allows you to change your iPod’s fonts, graphics and text.

Alas, this is a nano-only hack for the moment, but the authors promise a 5G iPod version soon. Until it arrives, I can’t test this myself, though plenty of users have reported success in the iPodWizard.net forums. Share your own experiences in the comments!
