&lt;br /&gt;
A bootloader is the first code that runs when starting up a device. By default on an iPod, Apple's own bootloader will launch. This allows the device to load the stock operating system. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But, there are custom made bootloaders that you can put onto an iPod. These custom bootloaders allow the user to switch between different operating systems and have a custom look upon boot.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is a list of the bootloaders available:&lt;br /&gt;
