Quote[wireless connectivity?]Bluetooth is a good option. For hardware all we may need is a SPI bluettoth chip. i dunno how r we gonna implement the bluetooth software stack on the player. It will be challenging.WiFi is way faster, and easier to program. Plus we can implement internet radio.

I know a thing or two about electronics, but when things get to having more than a couple ICs, things get WAY out of hand for me.Example attached.
I would like to start coding and have the program online for public access, like RockBox have. Anyone can advice a good service for that? - Sourceforge? Google code?

Google code?Since you're talking in a rockbox forum I can only assume you're talking about rockbox code here, and then I suggest you post your patches in a patch tracker entry to get people to test it, review it and commit it as soon as it fits.
Bagder, the first think I will do is the bootloader, working with u-boot. What do you suggest me to do? Until now we are just 2 developers(who will buy development hardware and code on it), me and Spark. How will other people test It If they don't have hardware to test it?

Hi,My name is David Rowe, and for 2.5 years I have been working with a team of hackers on open hardware IP-PBX designs, for example:http://www.rowetel.com/ucasterisk/ip04.htmlWe have moved thorugh many of the stages you are now working through so I wanted to encourage you and let you know that community based open hardware projects really can work. We have reached the stage where about 500 IP04's have been made, both via home construction and commercial production.While checking out your wiki I noticed that your RockBoxPlayer and the IP04 are very similar, e.g. NAND flash, u-boot, gEDA even similar SDRAM choices. Main difference is choice of CPU and of course your main I/O is stereo audio, wheras we are interested in telephony.FYI have I blogged on the fun behind open hardware assemblyhttp://www.rowetel.com/blog/?p=20Best of luck with your project :-)Cheers,David
