If I were a manufacturer of a device and wanted help from open developers, I would be more prone to contact the developers directly rather than through an open forum. I read through this entire thread, and I hope it's all legit, but part of me believes one should proceed with extreme caution.

Well, given that Rockbox is developed by people in the community and not a software company, forums posts and messages to the mailing lists are probably the only way to actually reach developers, short of individually contacting each one.

I think this is the manufacturers website and if the prices are to be believed the 160 gig model is only a few quid dear than the 80gb ipod (In UK anyway)

Can I just ask what the current status is of porting Rockbox to this player?
Is anyone actually working on it or is it a lost cause...
yossa:
I want to ask if any of the developers have access to an actual player, or was the work up to now based solely on the schematics and data provided by Eric Wong. I'm asking, because I might have a way of providing players to some key developers, if there is interest and if it will speed up developement.

Tired of paltry drive space of other targets. 250GB works fine.
I'm now working on this (Hi-X6)
Under original firmware added ogg support/NTFS. (piddling)
Looking under the development tools for the OS
(Nucleous) older version similar to Iphone and working
on reversing this to see how the hardware functions and work
from there. It will be slow but we'll get there (I'm no programmer).
Tutorial after tutorial, I'm slow but sure ;D
