Patrik,<br>I have successfully used my Ipod as a portable hard drive for use with the xo. Currently Linux applications lack support for the latest version of Ipod. It however may be feasible, in the future, to port a standard linux media program to the XO. Based on the limited space of the xo, a portable hard drive would be necessary.

<br>So Grandpa wants to give Daughter his iPod - is there much hope of managing this on her XO? If so, would it be useful/necessary to use an external USB drive to store the audio files?<br><br>A complicating factor would be my ignorance of Linux terminology. I'm a long-time Mac user, which I'm guessing will be of little help here. [Crying or Very sad]
