What kinds of hardware? Give some examples? Just curious :P
When I brought my ipod, it was the only thing I know of that has a large enough harddrive and the combo of a large enough screen and good enough navigation setup so that I don't need to press infinite # of ups/downs to find what I'm looking for. Since then I'm just too poor to replace it :) Just wonder if there is incentive enough for me to look for an alternative.
AlexP:
For me:
Lack of radio, lack of (easy) recording, lack of optical input/output
Other considerations - without rockbox being forced into using itunes and being unable to copy songs on and off easily....
The list goes on.
I stress again - there is nothing wrong with the iPod, it is just what you want from it.

Yeah, although I agree, I do miss being able to record in hi fi and easily, like I can with my blessed MiniDisc units :-*, the pros of iPod for me still seem to outweigh the cons.
I can't STAND iTunes, and the way it always seems to want to reorganise my perfectly placed music collection, which is why I love RockBox, and being able to transfer my albums with their lovely directory structure intact :)
But the pros, the intuitive controls, the wheel navigation, the large screen, the no-nonsense menus - it just all fits together for me. Which leads me to ask....is there any 'theme' for RB which is quite similar to the regular iPod theme? I mean, not to be heretical or anything, but if Apple updated the iPod firmware to allow it to just play my files from its hard drive without all this iTunes/ID3 Tagged order nonsense, I'd probably ditch RockBox! :D Although i WOULD miss the in-depth audio options...and the portable Doom.....

I almost never listen to the radio as long as I have other things to listen to, and I have my beloved Edirol R09 for recording, which is far, far, far, far,... far superior to any DAP's recording (without external amps, of course). So I guess I'll wait and keep my eyes on rockboxable DAPs with 160GB or 250GB harddrive :D

There are, but probably not on rockbox.org since there are all those nasty copyright issues. You can probably make yourself one.
