Considering Apple's iPhone announcement (They won't honor the warranty if you hack them) I am changing my (i)tune.  I was planning, when I finally outgrew my iPod 30 gig, to purchase the largest iPod supported by Rockbox.  New.

But now I think I'll pick up something used, or something more mod friendly.

Thanks for the info everyone:)

Suppose that Samsung N Series 160GB could be an option. How much do you reckon a 160GB 1.8 HD would sell for on its own?

In my research I found US$249 was rrp.

That's pretty dear for just a HD, more than 2/3 the total price of a 160gb classic:(

Strangely enough... Apple will be buying them slightly cheaper than that.
And... that really isn't expensive, for the size and capacity of that drive.
When the 5mm drives break 100GB... I'm so on it, regardless of cost (unless of course, rockbox is very successfully ported to the new 160GB classic).

Beat me sideways with a cat.

My 30gb 5.0 iPod screen just broke. And I was planning to buy the 80gb right before they put out the new ones.

There is no words for my sadness.

An iPod with the original firmware, is crap for the standard naive retard consumer. I enjoy music, and having the possibility to actually use my player the way I want.

Has anyone even tried putting the rockbox firmware we have for the 5.5 onto the new ones?

It won't work.  As has been said in several threads, the hardware is completely different on the new Classics.

Curses.

What are my choices then? I'm addicted to rockbox on my 30gb, but I need more space. Any players you people can recommend?
