How long were the Archos firmwares in development before they were released officially?

And how long are the iPods and others planned to be in development? Is there a target date or similar?

And is there a page with your aims with rockbox when it is released?

Thanks,

Danny

I think a lot of the 3.0 (and even 3.1) stuff is already done, so you could think of the current build as being 3.0 if you want  :)

Llorean:
There is no "how long are they planned to be in development."

We don't WANT it to take long for a port to reach release status, but until it's able to be considered bug free enough, it won't be 'released', and the iPod port is likely to be a long time coming unless the battery life issue is resolved.

Thanks,

So with the iPods its the battery life and the 80GB iPod problem are the main ones then now?

Well theres a lot of problems with the Ipods.  All sorts of stuff is slow, Dan_a is still preparing to commit the final COP patch, we don't yet understand all the different hardware on the chips, don't have proper USB support, etc.  Probably way more that I don't remember.

Though theres a lot of people working on PP platforms these days, so progress will probably start to be made on these issues little by little.
