Hi!
Maybe I'm raving, but here's a suggestion of improvement that could be added to Rockbox.
I talked recently with the proud owner of an iPod touch. We were discussing the functionalities of our respective MP3 players.
On his iPod touch, he could zoom on pictures, write stuff, play games; he had picture flow, album art, etc.
Thanks to Rockbox, I have also all those functionalities on my iPod video.
However, there is one cool thing that he could do with his iPod touch and that I couldn't do: surfing on the Internet.
Okay, okay... our cheap-but-pimped-out MP3 players don't have a wifi functionality, I admit it.
However, wouldn't it be possible to use the USB connector to detect an LAN connection on the computer in which it is plugged ?
Because our MP3 players don't have a lot of memory, we could just port a text web browser to Rockbox.
Wait! To all the Linux users out there : don't you know any open source text web browser ? Of course, there is
www-browser, and all its forks !
Don't you think it would be funny (but totally useless) to port a lightweight text web browser to Rockbox ?
I know you'd love to !
Thank you for reading my wild ideas,
Delta
