Yes, we also are working on a new android one.

Great news! Can it also be expected in December?

Last thing we need is more android players, raspberry pi etc. Those are large and power hungry.
My wish list:
1) User replaceable battery is #1!! Products come and go so I'd like to be able to keep the player running for a long time. It's ok if replacing the battery requires disassembling the player or even soldering some wires, but it should use a standard form factor battery (like in bluetooth headsets) and disassembly should be possible. The Sansa Fuze is glued together so if you take it apart, it's hard to reassemble. Actually, using an AAA cell like the Sansa M200 series would be fantastic.
2) reasonably small size, like original Sansa Fuze is fine, Clip series is fine, etc. Don't need clothing clip. Don't need super miniaturization. Don't need color display.
3) Multi-line display a little larger than Clip/Clip+'s (i.e. like Clip Zip or Fuze) would be nice but not required.
4) Real time clock (player keeps track of current time and date) is important for some applications like TOTP token or alarm.
6) No voice recording, there should not be a microphone anywhere in the device (security issue).
7) Don't need bluetooth and would prefer a version without bluetooth (same as above)
8) Complete source code to all internal software, of course.
Wow!!!!

Android version is much more difficult to develop. We don't have a schedule yet.

Hunterleo,
My Sansa Clip just died yesterday and I'm in the market for a new mp3 player.
Should I hold out for the new AGPtEK with Rockbox OS? Will it be days, weeks, or months?
Thanks

I guess it still takes months. The new player with our own OS is under production. You may try it soon.
