Hey guys, I found an interesting tutorial on how to change ipod harddrives to compact flash cards.

http://geektechnique.org/projectlab/753/how-to-turn-your-ipod-mini-into-a-flash-based-ipod

and I compiled a list of working and not-working flash cards

The list:

A-Data - Yes*
DataWrite - Yes
Extreme Memory - Yes
Kingston 45X Elite Pro - Yes
Memory Corp Pro - Yes*
Peak Xtreme - Yes*
Platinum - Yes
Scandisk Extreme III – Yes*
Scandisk Ultra II - Yes*
Scandisk I (multiple cases where < 1GB cards had trouble) – Yes*
Seagate - Yes
Shikatronics - Yes
_____________________________

Disk2Go - No
Emetec - No
Kingston Elite Pro - No*
Qmemory - No
RiData 80x ProII - No
_____________________________

Transcend - Some has worked*

pretty cool, surely cheaper to get a normal player with memory expansion?

well not cheaper, but it gives you the opportunity to easily upgrade to the upwards of over 16 gigs (if you have the money).
