  1. It shouldn’t be much longer. Once they came out with the Windows version, they had the Linux version out that same day! So my guess is that it should be out sometime tomorrow (October 13th). Be patient! You’ve survived with a Un-Jailbroken iPod for this long, you can survive a few more days!Is this Greenpoison version is only for Intel ?
