Never Used Epod
What do I do with it?

I purchased an epodone while they where in still there, but did not use it, due to the monthly fee.

I want to start using it now but I am not able to get past opening screen. Epods is gone and there is no tech support.

Does anyone know how I might get the device to finish booting and sign on to an ISP?

If not, I would be interested in selling the device to someone who could make use of it.

Well, since you obviously can't read the message board, I'll buy it off of you :P
But you may wish to consider visiting http://www.geocities.com/epodsfiles , as it gives the full instructions on hacking one of these.

You can't do much better, pricewise, than an ePods. I would keep if I were you and do the hack (as suggested previously) at http://www.geocities.com/epodsfiles

It's fun, also you can check out the page for integrating a network card at

Come on guys, lighten up. People are asking for your help.

Keck,
As foo mentioned earlier, go to http://www.geocities.com/epodsfiles/ and perform the easy hack. Takes about 20 minutes and will have your epods looking/acting like a normal WinCE device. If you're still uninterested in your epods, then post here, or better yet on Glitch's FS/WTB page. I'm sure there are many people out here which would be interested in buying it from you. Keep in mind though, the demand for epods is fading rather rapidly, so you may not sell the device for what you paid for it. I suggest keeping your epods and performing the hacks. I found the most fun I've had with my epods is when I was performing the hacks and tweaks. Enjoy.

No disrespect intended. Not everyone has as much experience with computers as people here. I don't. We all started somewhere.............

Thanks for your help. I did the hack v1 and I love it. I wondered what to do with this unit until you guys.

I don't know who you are, but you know your stuff.
