So my whole issue is that i love the look of the 3g ipod. Even more so i love the touch wheel. I think that the new ipods are very ugly and the click wheel is a waste of time (moving parts = parts that break). I started a thread about getting my 3g to have video out but it seems like that is impossible. So now I want to know if its possible to take a 5g ipod and put the face (front, touch wheel) of a 3g on it.Thanks

Can you slap Goldie Hawn's wrinkled face on Halle Berry's head and hope she'll still work? Probably not.

Hope who'll still work, Goldie or Halle?

Depends on your perspective. The OP obviously appreciates old, ugly things ( ). In his case, it'd be Goldie. I'm partial to Halle Berry.

You realize that the click wheel is a touch wheel, right? It is still a solid state wheel, it just depresses slightly for the button presses. I have a 3g, and though I love my iPod, I've gotta say, the touch buttons can be kind of a pain. You're never sure exactly when they're going to work and they're not.
