rockbox ported to motorola e680i/a780 by blackhawk from mfc

linuxstb: I'm ordering the next developer preview of the Neo1973 smartphone. Here's some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo1973
I'd love to mess around with this on my shiny new toy. A free jukebox firmware on a free phone? I'm game! :)
If the source is shared, I'm going to tinker with it on the Neo.

The source HAS to be shared if he is distributing the app - Rockbox being GPL and all.
TheNewMinistry:
So if Rockbox starts working on mobile phones, would that necessitate the addition of code for phone functionality?
I'm assuming dual-booting of the original firmwares and Rockbox would be the easier option.
LambdaCalculus:
Actually, it's a simulator build running with the SDL library, so in essence, it's an app, not a firmware replacement for the phone.
BigBambi: The forum thread has no sign of the source. I'm going to contact the developer when I get a chance.
Llorean:
It'd be really nice, and I've said this before, if someone worked on taking Rockbox as an app further. Instead of simulator compiles, a full App one (some mouse interface, etc, and the ability for a different UI). For one thing it might work alright as a primary PC-based music player. And as a second, once Rockbox is better off as an app, it'll be easier for it to be ported to many SDL devices (GP32, I believe the PSP homebrew scene has an SDL setup, anything you can convince Linux to run on such as a PS3 or maybe an XBox, phones as we've seen, etc, etc).
