What is the "Flagship" player for Rockbox?
Chronon:
I had never heard of the H3xx referred to that way. I was not under the impression that it suffered from poor battery life.

The H300 does not suffer battery issues. Rockbox beats stock.

Since nobody has taken the time to update the wiki - we have no objective numbers. http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/IriverRuntime

Would you please state that again in a legible form?
Scuzzo:
i will try..
the h320 is has been called a soviet ipod on a few reviews i have read.. i guess its cause of the clunky button interface and the no frills looks of it. after reading reviews and recommendations for the DAP that is best suited to be rockboxed, i decided to purchase one bout 65 bucks. i like the fact that you can replace the hard drive and the battery. and the retro look, of what i have read the sound quality is very good. as far as battery life, there is some concern, iriver stats states around 14hrs but i hear of folks getting shy of 6hrs in a lot of reviews. perhaps the newest firm ware has addressed this. i dont know.. and then i just prattled on about perhaps modding it with an inskin with some USSR graphics.. blah blah.. i tend to ramble.
sorry if my previous post was a bit confusing..

Strange, I've never heard the H300 being called a Soviet iPod!
I can't really find any resemblance between them. In most aspects H300 was far better than the equivalent iPod of the time (save perhaps the form factor), so I wouldn't even try to compare them.
Sadly, Apple is known for its wondrous advertising and marketing habits. iRiver completely lost the game, and iPod outsold the H300. That's maybe the reason why the former company completely retracted from the big storage DAP section, and focused completely in flash or low storage HD based players.

Also the OF had a battery runtime of 14-16 hours (and it was realistic not like iPod claims), if I remember correctly. Nowadays Rockbox increased that to 20 hours. So yeah, there is definitely no problem battery wise, with the H300.

If we're ranting - I should add that Apple claims 20, and I got 22 on my 5th gen.
