Im sure you guys heard of this already. But some people were able to extract the fonts and pictures of both the iPod and Photo iPods and now you can change the front pictures and the fonts the iPod uses! More info HERE

And HERE
Here are some pictures from both regular and photo ipods.

Supposedly it voids your warranty. But if you use it for a while and then change it back I see no harm in it. I dont think it can, many people have done it sucessfully.

That link doesn’t work for me.

And I wouldn’t do that.  It seems sort of pointless and it might completely screw up your ipod if you do it wrong.

You can actually change the strings (text) too.

I’ve done it repeatedly, and it works beautifully. 😊

Yes, that link doesn’t work, because it was pulled today. The admin posted on ipodhacks.com that he’ll have it up on another server soon.
