I was looking at the GKD Pixel, it does have a 3.5mm port, has a metal case, has 128MB of RAM, and the resolution is 320x240 which is the same as the iPod Video and Aigo Eros Q. It uses the Ingenic x1830 though, which isn't used by any already supported device.

The X1830 appears to essentially be a X1000 with more RAM and a higher clock speed; that's not likely to be much of an impediment.

However, the "identify what components are on the PCB and how they're wired up" problems still apply for a native port.  And integrating with the Stock OS may have its own headaches for a hosted port.

And then there's the minor detail that the GKD Pixel appears to be completely out of stock.  :D

It's available on AliExpress from what I can see, and I was just giving an example of a really tiny device that had a 3.5mm port.
Well, in either case I'm suddenly feeling really enthusiastic about these devices. I hadn't cared much about them but then I realized that they likely have similar specs to some of the more recent Rockbox devices. I really want to get into embedded development now, but I need to deal with my other courses at the moment.
And hey, wouldn't a hosted port be great as well? We could really use more supported hardware that's currently being made.

Yeah Gkd Pixel looks quite cool:

Strange pricing policy though. One option costs  $133.24 and other $390.96 and it seems the only difference is color  :o

SM:
Getting Rockbox on the Nano would be such a blessing. It has GMU, but it's the clunkiest media player I've ever used, not to mention the way superior codec support of Rockbox.
