I have a few questions about rockbox

(1/2) > >>

Okay I have a few quick questions.


1. Does Rockbox use more battery power than the Apple Firmware?

2. How long has rockbox been out for? (Just curious)

Sweet Spot:
1) Yes. I generally get about 8 hours

2) Years. As far as I know, some of the first DAP's using ROCKbox firmware were older Archos models.

3) Totally worth reduced battery life IMO.

delorean90:
Also, battery life will be optimised eventually, possibly even surpassing the Apple firmware, as far as i know possibly coming close to the apple firmware eventually

caskey_91:
Awesome I agree it is worth the battery loss. All I use Apple for is to watch my videos the only thing rockbox is alacking in.

Yotto:
While Rockbox has been out for years, it's been out for iPods for a shorter period of time.  I don't know *how* short but I'm moderately sure it's less than a year.

And totally completely worth it.
