Bluetooth is a good option. For hardware all we may need is a SPI bluettoth chip. i dunno how r we gonna implement the bluetooth software stack on the player. It will be challenging.

WiFi is way faster, and easier to program. Plus we can implement internet radio.

I think WiFi and bluetooth have different uses. Where can you buy WiFi headphones for instance ?

techforumz:
Good point. So WiFi and Bluetooth?

Llorean:
Or neither. The goal is low cost. Bluetooth is engineered to be low cost and low power consumption, and with it included, Wifi is *almost* redundant anyway, so the best idea is probably "neither" followed by just one, with Bluetooth offering more overall flexibility.

I did update the page with the schematic of the Custom secondary board:
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/RockboxPlayerPrototype

I will start now working on design that PCB.

techforumz:
Or maybe we should just offer 'kits' like a PC. Plug in a Flash chip or HDD, a 2.5" color TFT, or 4-line monochrome, etc...
