Android devices have the largest screens.  For dedicated mp3 players, something like the Fuze might work (basically a clip with a larger, color screen) or the D2 or M:Robe (although these ports are less stable).

According to the DeviceChart, the m:robe 500 has the largest screen, both in resolution and physical size.
But it's an "Unstable port".
For a "Stable port", please have a look for yourself.

You could also get a FriendlyARM mini2440
But, this hardware is a little excessive to use it purely for an mp3 player, and not really terribly portable.

Using PMs to annoy devs about bugs/patches is not a good way to have the issue looked at.

From what I hear, it also sounds bad.

iPod videos and iPod Classics both have large screens (320x240), but the Video suffers from slower performance since Rockbox doesn't make use of the built-in accelerator chip on it; meanwhile, the Classic port is still not very mature and meant for advanced users.

ipod video at 320x240 or gigabeat (F/X are best supported) at 240x320.
