What is iLoader?

iLoader is a fully-customizable boot loader for the second-generation iPod Nano.

Core features

Very fast boot. Approx. 2 seconds from powering on to the Rockbox main menu.
Integrated FTL recovery tool (prevents those nasty "Use iTunes to restore" screens)
Aimed at advanced users
Very flexible: You can choose from a variety of themes and menus, or you can make your own one. A theme can define almost all aspects of the boot process. You can choose between list-based or button-based boot menus, or just boot straight into a firmware unless a button is being held during boot.
Integrated USB-based debugger, very helpful for developers :)
