Can this be done? Is the hardware backwards compatible? Because I absolutely abhor the click-wheel. The 3G's touch wheel and buttons were the best, in my opinion. My guess is that the wiring hasn't really change for the click-wheel, it has just been connected in different places. Or maybe the way to do this is to take a 5G iPod and put a 3G faceplate on it... I dunno... But any help/insight would be fab.

My guess is there would be far too many complications to even consider something like that (backlit buttons are the main one), but I'm on the same boat, hate that dumb click-wheel.
If i had a spare 3G and 5G iPod lying around I'd crack 'em open and have a look. I mean, a button is just a switch to allow current to pass through a certain line, so it's bound to be hackable.
Any one want to sponsor me?
