raspberry pi style i pod touch (pi pod)

Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Ok I have been watching Ben's raspberry pi builds and i think a great project would be to build a raspberry pi style i pod touch (pi pod).

It should have a 3.5 inch touch screen display, maby a custom OS for music, movies gaming Minecraft etc .

Built in battery, camera or two. Then a cool 3D printed and/or lazer cut case to hold it all together also it would be great if it was as slim as possible.

Thanks

    Just posting here should get your design considered. Unfortunately, there are many fans and only one Ben, so he is unable to make many of the amazing ideas that fans come up with. You may be stuck with a regular IPod for a little while longer.

    You get small composite screens on adafruit. Rpi would work considering it's thick so you won't get one as slim as ipod. Also, you require a keyboard. You could also upload android to your Pi.

    It will already have been considered due to you posting here. Unfortunately due to time constraints Ben can not make everything posted, and the more time he spends commenting, the less time he can spend actually making peoples designs, meaning he is not that active on the forums.

    A possibility, but like I said, there are a lot of fans and only one Ben, so don't be too excited.

    Perhaps, I am not particularly families with it though, it just seems like rasbian with some extra things for coding. Perhaps the pi version of android would be good.

    I did a little more research and it turns out the pi version of android is still under development. There is a version available but it is still too slow to be useable. Until then rasbian or kano looks like the best option. Sorry.
