Rockbox Development > New Ports
Rockbox as an Application (Android, WebOS etc.)
gorman:
Is porting to iOS doable? Doesn't it clash with any of Apple's "intelligent" limitations?
JdGordon:
no reason it oculdnt be ported and run on jailbroken iOS...
also, saratoga found this link which some might find interesting... http://www.treo8.com/bbs/thread-169671-1-1.html it appears to be rockbox sim built for webOS, if someone knows chinese it would be great to get in contact with that developer

Hmmm, I was actually interested in understanding whether it would be possible to release it as a free app, with jailbreaking not needed. Seeing as VLC did it, I was wondering...
One might even dump completely the iTunes library (emptying it of everything) and load all the music under Rockbox.
JdGordon:
you mean onto the apple appstore? It would almost certainly be rejected so why would anyone waste their time? And also I was under the impression it is a very grey area allowing GPL code to be distributed on the appstore. Also it needs someone to actually do the port, I don't know of any devs with such a pathetic excuse for a phone :D
LambdaCalculus:
It doesn't necessarily need to be an iPhone. The iPad and iPod Touch, as well as the 6th gen nano, all now run iOS (as Apple calls it now).
A Rockbox app for iOS will run on all 4 devices, but also may depend on what version of iOS it's running.
