What is the "Flagship" player for Rockbox?

<< < (8/8)

Llorean:
And for reference I've gotten battery runtimes both below and above the claimed runtime from two identical "new" players. Since batteries are lithium based, a lot of it surely depends on warehouse and shelf time.

Needless to say, manufacturer estimates never really matter, especially since they don't describe what you'll get in Rockbox, so let's stick to the "Rockbox runtime" based on recent battery benches. :)

True, though if I am not mistaken the H300 competed with the 4th Generation iPod and iPod Photo (12 and 15 hours respectively), not the 5th generation players which had a pleasant improvement in the battery department.

But yeah, as Llorean said, it matters what you get in Rockbox and not in the OF that (hopefully) no one uses. :)

Scuzzo:

hmm, looks like the soviet ipod remark was taken way wrong,
i think it was called that because it was a real piece of utility equipment, ie no glam foo foo touches, just buttons and no glitter, it was desgined to perform a task with out giving the user style points and form factor gee wiz points.  its a  real black box..  it was not to say the soviet ipod is just an inferior player to the real ipod or any thing..   i never liked ipods and perhaps never will, personal choice that's all.  im going to Rockbox the h320 for sure. I hope the battery life will be decent, i have not checked on the battery test of the h320.

 i have heard many good things about the h320 so when i call it a soviet ipod im not trying to slight in any way.  just hope that single  platter 40gb hard drives drop to a lower price point.. or that come out with a new more compact lower height replacment drive with more space...  

long live rock!!   ..box

Chronon:
I didn't take it as insulting, really.  I was a little surprised at the many pages that refer to that target in that way, though.  Particularly, as it's so popular here I would have expected to have heard it before.  I think a lot of the protestation upthread was at the suggestion that the H3xx suffers from poor battery life.
