new ipods - rockbox port proposal
cormie:
Ok thanks. So as of now, there is no option to get rockbox on any 160GB hd for any device, right?
LambdaCalculus:
If Toshiba actually did design 1.8" hard drives of this capacity with 50-pin connectors, then we could. But buying an iPod Classic to gut it is now most definitely out of the question without some serious hardware hacking.
Walrus:
And of course, just as with the 80 gig ipods, no other company will bother putting out a similarly-sized player to compete with Apple. :-\

Why do you think that is? Do you not reckon iRiver/Cowon/Creative would have a loyal following and could get a lot of attention>sales if they did? There's more competition in the lower capacity market so surely some competition in the higher capacity market would get the competitors some sales? Is it really that hard to just release a 160GB player that's rockboxable with good sound quality and battery life? I mean the H140 slimmed down and given a 160GB HD would, for me, be the perfect MP3 player.

Archos has a 605 model with 160GB offered.
