Default GPS on a 3G nano ? ?

Hi guys, just found that on youtube. Check at this site, there's a video also.
http://www.sciuridae.co.uk/ipod_nano_gps.htm
It says:
I was extremely surprised to find that with the addition of a simple GPS receiver and a Linux app. it was possible to use my new Ipod Nano 3g as an in-car GPS Sat Nav. Ok, the screen is a little small, and entering destinations is a pain, but at least it shows us the way forward in terms of device convergence, and steals a march on the more expensive Ipod Touch and Iphone.

What we've got here is a Linux port running TomTom Navigator, with maps of the UK and speed cameras installed too. Obviously not supported officially by Apple yet, this application should work on both the 4gb and 8gb versions of the Nano, but here it is being tested in demo mode on an 8gb Black version.



And more...
What do you guys think ? ? The guy said that it will be available in summer 2008.

sounds like a scam, isn't the 3G firmware still encrypted?

It's a total scam. One way to know is it's sitting on a table, but the GPS seems to be driving around. Wierd.............
