I should admit after hacking on the 810 I got an 800 (from Tiger Direct on sale for $229). But I would note that with a powered hub, iPods work. I haven't tried porting GTKPod yet - the only difference is the movies are in the form of Fnn/XYZW.mxx files, thus hard to find without an indexing program.

(And I've actually gotten my hfs+ iPod to mount, but it required hfsplus.ko, losetup, and a program I wrote to scan mac partitions after getting tired of my calculator and hexdumps - How can I get Nokia to turn on Mac partition support - they may not be common, but aren't that rare either, takes little memory, and can't be written as a kernel module).
