Plans for working on battery life
linuxstb:
Rockbox doesn't need plans for working on ipod battery life, or people talking about plans for working on ipod battery life, it needs volunteers to actually do some hard work and spend their spare time figuring out how the PortalPlayer chip and the other hardware in the ipod works and/or optimising the existing code so we can run the CPU at a lower clock speed for longer.

Actually it was this thread. First time I read it I was already not so convinced by this argument. Of course you cannot schedulre discoveries, but one can try to make them more likely, can't one? That's why loads and loads of money go into R&D.. to make discoveries more likely.

Too bad no money is going into R&D in this project. Care to donate some?
Llorean:
Yes, will a fully staffed development lab, and a few people being paid full time to reverse engineer the hardware, I'm sure some progress could be made. ;)

And then sell your product way to expensive to us, no thanks ;D
I'l be patient and wait some more :D
