new ipods - rockbox port proposal
Llorean:
Meaning "more interest is good, but promotion or wild attempts to gain interest aren't necessary"
linuxstb:
It's also worth adding that any new ipods will almost certainly be protected from running third-party code in the same way (or possibly even more securely) than the 2nd gen Nano.
So any port would require cracking that encryption, or finding exploits - something that no-one (to my knowledge) has done so far for the 2nd gen Nano.
And that's before any work is done to reverse-engineer the brand-new and undocumented hardware...

is this the same with the ipod or was it just the new hd that they used for the 80gb version?

I assume by "ipod" you mean the 80GB ipod video? If so, then yes, it was just the weird firmware in the 80GB hard disk used by Apple which caused Rockbox problems. Everything else was identical to all the other ipod videos.
Bagder:
To help upcoming ports to happen to new players, feel free to buy lots of units and hand them out to interested developers.
Or just donate lots of money to the Rockbox fund so that we can buy units to willing developers.
(Although of course nothing of this guarantees a port to actually happen.)
