I think a snapshot works much better than a .tap image.  Look for .sna or .z80 snapshots or make them yourself from an emulator.

I also have a cool idea. Well, an accessory that allows connecting keyboard to iPod does not exist, but it can be designed,right? A homemade microcontroller based device which converts PS/2 keyboard protocol to iPod remote protocol, which then is recognized by a driver embedded into Rockbox and allows composing texts.

Hmm... Maybe you should find out which registers controls the serial port before you start writing programs for it - AFAIK nobody exept apple know.

No, i'm talking about a very primitive html viewer which understands only the "img src" tag to embed images into the texts and nothing more.
Also why not port the Festival speech synthesizer to Rockbox to make it "speak" text files? Of course, text files can be converted into audio files using Festival on desktop, but audio files occupy more space in the player than text files.
And another question, why the Rockbox's internal text viewer supports CP-1251 and UTF-8 encodings but does not support KOI-8R?

Well you didn't say this. Be specific.

Have a look round the site before you make more suggestions that someone else already thought of hey? ;)

Because no-one's had the time / the inclination to support KOI-8R ?
