Ipod serial connection

Hi

After a little punting around thre net I found the pin-outs on the base of my ipod.
My plan is to interface it to a basic stamp, so that I can·control it and also display the track info on a seperate lcd display.

My questions...

I believe the Ipod is a 3.3v unit.· What interfacing issues will I have?

Can I directly connect the Ipods serial·TX/RX connections·(via any voltage difference adjustments) to the basic stamp?
In fact... is the BS2 the best option?· I believe other programmable chips run at 3.3v, but I have never used them.

I will have to look around and see if I can find the serial commands for the Ipod, so that I can obtain the info I need from the Ipod, and the control codes.

Many thanks

Steve

    If you're looking for 3.3v compatability look at the propeller chip, it works at 3.3v
