So I thought about donating my ipod to you developers instead of making my annual money donation.

But If you had any dev who wants to do some ipod stuff and the only thing that prevents him or her to do it is the fact that he or her does not own such a device to test the stuff, I would be glad to donate my Nano 4G to him or her for working on it, as soon as I get a new player.

Hi Jochen, thanks for the offer. Now let's see if anyone bites.

I already have an iPod I can use to test and don't have time to
develop the iPod plugin anyway.
