Just my 2 pennies worth though - I accept I'm not working on developing this device, and ultimately the decisions will be made by those who are.

Project to design and build a Free/Open hardware audio player for use with RockBox. --> for use with, doesn't mean it should exercised all of Rockbox's capabilities - this are things that are already decided and written.
Well, but If you read the pages about actual work, you will read about colour screen! Actual PrototypeB will use OLED 18 bit color.
And you are right - respect the work of the others developers. Thank you.

And who defined those objectives? Surely that too is personal preference?

I did. I started writing the idea of this project on wiki and that objectives reflects my believes.

I know, that was my point. I appreciate it was your idea, but if you ask other people for their opinions, it isn't very constructive then just to say no as they disagree with your opinions. Why bother asking?

Seriously, if you want exclusive control of this, rename it to "casainhoPlayerV1", but if you're going to treat it like a community project, remember that "What I want it to be" isn't always what's right for the community.

I started by writing a message in ML with the subject: Suggest features for a new hardware recorder/audio player for using with Rockbox, so I was expecting just suggestions about a possible recorder/audio player and not a video player. I may have been unfriendly, sorry.

I do not want exclusive control, I just defined what I wanted AND believe as realistic objectives, possible to do. I want to work with others that also believe, desire, the same idea. Who do not share the same beliefs and have others, can always start working on that others, I assume there is space, freedom for do that.
Llorean:
Rockbox already has many features that make use of a color screen. Why exclude them just because *you* don't want a color screen. Other than a slight increase in cost, what harm is there in a color screen? I don't see a color screen being "unrealistic."
