long story short, I broke the cable on the back of the glass that formerly sat on my no-home-button-crap-ipod. I will probably get a nexus 7, because, well, i've wanted one for a while now. does anybody have any ideas on how to use the ipod without a digitalizer? it is jailbroken and i have btstack installed. (bluetooth mouse and keyboard app) i think it would be sweet to use as a mini computer! ideas?
 
you can hook a keyboard and mouse into it, but if you don't have a touch screen to at least install the services you need via cydia, you're screwed.
 
not really, not unless you install openssh on it, but you'll need cydia for that.

there's no way you can replace the part you broke? ifixit.com sells all sorts of parts for ios devices

i could, but i dont want to, as i am probably getting a nexus 7. maybe i can find one somewhere. probably cant short term patch the cable can I?
 
A new digitizer+glass is ~$10 on amazon, with tools, and a 30 minute fix.

Hell, it's worth it to just fix and sell, so why dick around? Fix it and use it, or sell it and put it towards a nexus 7.

i am a cheap Pollock, lol. i have allot to do as far as making it sell-able. re-solder home button contact, fix scratches on lcd, etc. i did a terrible job the first time i tried to "fix" the screen. oh well, now i have experience. i will try the pc control thing tonight. no school tomorrow for me, due to the so-called "snowpacalapse" here in Michigan. thanks for the response guys!
