Want to buy a "new" HDD DAP to replace my iRiver H340...

Damn you and your reading of what (s)he said not what (s)he means!

If the Gigabeat F's screen is unacceptable, there is no Rockbox target current or upcoming that has an acceptable screen.

I assume because it does not take a ZIF drive.

Guys... My bad! For some reason, when I posted I was under the impression that the Gigabeat F had resolution of 176 x 220 (same as my H340)... The reason for this confusion is that I was shopping for both a Gigabeat and a Sansa e200 (got the Sansa btw..)
So yeah, there's nothing wrong with the F series in terms of its screen resolution... Yet I still don't want it cause I want a) I want a 120 GB drive, b) the F is a bit fatter than the X and F, c) the screens are a bit larger on the X and S...
I guess no one knows where to get a new Gigabeat huh?
Right now I'm thinking an S30 with a 120 GB drive would be sweet...
Walrus:
Can you really swap a 240 GB hard drive into a Gigabeat S60 and run rockbox on it?
That might eliminate the need for me to buy an Archos 5.
Llorean:
While the S and X have larger screens, we're talking fractions of an inch with the same number of pixels. I know the Gigabeat V's screen is larger, but actually looks a good deal worse because of, I believe, the dot pitch since it's larger with the same number of pixels.
Really, a screen usually needs to be actually looked at in-use to compare.
