Best iPod w/ RockBox?

The 5th generation 60 gig model has the best battery life of them all, due to its larger battery. Not to mention the 60 gig model has 64MB of RAM, which isn't being used by Rockbox yet, but there is a working (?) patch in the tracker to use it. The 30MB ipod video only has 32MB of RAM for buffering.

Seeing as how the 60GB version is no longer available (Amazon no longer lists it), and the 80GB 5.5 video is not supported by Rockbox, I'm thinking the 30GB 5.5 version might be the way for me to go. Unless there's hope that someday soon the 80GB 5.5 video version will be supported one day? Is it primarily a video issue (meaning that if I never download vodeo t the unit I should be OK) or what?

where you'll see that, unfortunatley, 80 GB 5.5g is still a work in progress to run Rockbox at all, music, videos, whatever, it doesn't work yet.
The experts say it will work, probably, sometime...could be tomorrow, could be in months...as long as there are skilled folks devoted to making the breakthrough.
5g 30 or 60 -> ok
5.5g 30 ->ok
5.5g 80 -> no
Maybe there's a refurb 60 available from an ipod repair place?

I'm not even sure where I'd start looking for such a thing. Can anyone recommend a good (read as: reputable) refurb place that might carry items such as this?

Check often as the inventory changes.

Hi guys,
I still use Archos Jukebox Recorders (upgraded to 120GB) but the main issue that I have is the amount of noise and hiss when listening at low volumes. The hard drive spin up noise (with a good set of cans) becomes really distracting.
For this reason I've also been considering an iPod, so can anyone give me their thoughts and experience on the amount of noise and/or static produced? I read that the 5g had worked out all the noise issues, but is this correct?
Cheers,
c0utta
