The home page should say "Not the v2 Sansas", as opposed to AMS

(1/5) > >>

Hillshum:
r20127 of SVN changed the home page to say AMS instead of v2. However, most people don't know that the v2s have an AMS chip or anything along those lines. By saying v2, we clearly distinguish between the two. That revision should be reverted. Should I upload a patch to Flyspray?

soap:
There was never a "v1" Clip, for example...

Hillshum:
But we don't say that any clip is supported, so that is irrelevant

Llorean:
Well, "v2" means just as little as "AMS". A lot of people who know the term v2 know it from us. The firmware version could be called "v3" for some and many of the players that could be called "v2" aren't the actual second version of the hardware.

There's really no "good" name for them that will be clear to everyone. Calling them "AMS Sansas" on the other hand has the advantage that it's at least consistent.

None the less, a note on the front page mentioning V2 hardware is a good idea, as it is widely used in some circles (the sandisk forums, ABI).
