I guess this page could shed some light on what current Rockbox can offer:

I read from some of the rockbox pages that read Rockbox do not support OTG is because players don't. Do you mean that someone need to work on the rockbox source code before OTG, video and maybe FM transmission can be supported?
However, this page
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/FeatureComparison
indicates that Video playback with sound is supported....why you said it isn't???

Yes, that's why I said Rockbox doesn't support those. We're only a limited set of people with a limited amount of spare time.

RVF video is possible (on Archos) but I doubt you'd seriously call that video support with a straight face when talking actual video.

Of course The Manufacturer can always donate code for the missing functionality.
It's a two-way gain:
* The Manufacturer gets to use RockBox with all its capabilities
* RockBox gets new functionality that our other targets can also use
Of course the parts we are allowed to take over must be GPL...

Of course, that sounds very good if it works out eventually.
Does anyone have links to COLOUR screenshots, reviews, etc to the rockbox interface? All I see on rockbox is the black and white interface....
Bagder:
Rockbox is not yet released for any player with color LCD and we have not worked a lot on the looks. But you can customize it fairly well still. What about a little sneak preview on RedBreva's site with existing WPSes:
