Releases?

<< < (2/2)

Llorean:
And the significant performance issues.
And the lack of a Rockbox-native USB mode (leaving a dependency on the retail firmware).

Remember, even the H100/H300 ports aren't considered release ready yet, though they're much closer (most of the problems that hold them back are affecting all targets, ie playback engine general issues.)

Out of curiosity, why does it matter so much whether it's been released?

I was just wondering if I should wait just for the iPod 80GB port or if I should wait for a release,
And another thing, I was wondering how fast the development of the firmware is. A mix of things.

Thanks for your help!  ;)

soap:
There is only one question you need to ask yourself, and it is the same question if Rockbox is "released" or not:

"Does this software do what I want it to do, in a manner I am able to live with?"
 

daniel54:
Yeah, I would like to have vorbis and themes on my iPod, although to an extent its minor.
It depends how bad the rockbox battery life if on the iPod (80GB) when it is working is if I can live with it or not.
I guess I'll have to see, if its 8 or more hours (preferably 10), that I could live with it till that issue is addressed, other than that, I would be living with the apple firmware until that is fixed.

I still haven't tried it so I'm looking forward to trying it!  ;)

soap:
You should get ten hours, depending on usage patterns.
