Hmmm... I started breadboarding a MintyBoost and I'm only getting ~2.5V out of it. When I plug in my iPod, it becomes unresponsive, I can't control it at all, but as soon as I unplug it, it works fine. I have taken some pictures of what I have... Maybe someone can make heads or tails of it, I based it off of the proto, single-sided board.
Also, I changed a couple things (a little, kinda)
-I used these inductors:

-My ceramic capacitors are 0.01uF instead of 0.1uf (I think, they just say "10")
-I used a 1N4001 diode, 1A 50V
Ok, here are the pictures:
(I have higher quality versions, if you think that'll help)
Oops, I guess the next four ARE the high quality version... about ~1.5mB each
