new ipods - rockbox port proposal
magnumforce2006:
Hooooo baby, can't wait for the 160 gig to get a rockbox port ;D
evilnick:
If the 160GB iPod classic gets a rockbox port (notice that I'm not begging for this to happen soon, merely wanting it with all my heart, soul and all) then I might have to re-evaluate my current no-way-no-how stance on iPods!
Improved battery life, massive storage capacity and THE best firmware in existence = the win.
wesmo:
Well does anyone want to get start pledging some money so that one of the devs can "promptly rip open and scan the PCB of it within hours of walking out of the store"?
According to engadget, the new ipods should hit stores this weekend.
Ipod classic 80g - $249 US
nano 4g - $149 US
I'll be willing to pledge $15 AU (around $12 US) iff we get enough for either of these targets..
Walrus:
I'd be shocked if the 80 gig 'classic' was any different than the current 5.5 80 gig. It's obviously not on anyone's priority list with the development of the touchscreen stuff, so I'm just not picturing anyone at Apple devoting a lot of time to changing it...seems more like an image and price rebranding rather than a significantly different product.
I'm just curious if the 160 gig will have the same basic hardware as what is already known, or if it will pose a similar problem to what kept the 80 gig working with rockbox for so long.

Well, I very much doubt they are still using PP chips, so I am sure it is quite different. Speculating about this is offtopic and useless though.
