Rockbox as an Application

(1/5) > >>

I was reading Google Summer of Code 2008, and noticed an interest in porting Rockbox as an application. I think this is a smart idea. It might be especially effective in the new iPods (Touch, Phone, Classic) which support mini-programs and widgets.

I have to commend the Rockbox Team on their neverending goal to develop this project.  :)

Here is the link to a initial project for Rockbox as a 3rd part application: http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11349

Indeed, and there is also already a thread on the motorola effort on these very forums!

I too would love to see Rockbox as an app.

From the looks of things, Rockbox on the iPhone and the ipod Touch looks possible and promising  :D:

I might be able to buy an iPod Touch, and not worry about it having no Rockbox support!  ;D

Of course, with the dream of Rockbox on an iPod, comes the harsh reality of the hard work required to do it.  :)

UPDATE:

Here's an external link I discovered:

If Rockbox were ported as an Application, would it be possible to have it in J2ME format as the KD Player?

No. J2ME would mean reimplementing everything, so you won't have rockbox anymore
