In my personal opinion, it's more fun to work on a device with a wide user base. It provides more feedback and more potential contributors. Until we see what kind of distribution this model gets, I think the iRiver/Xclef option is the most interesting.

The features listed are actually pretty standard across most mp3 players. I agree the selection of games are curiously similar to ours, but I doubt much of the system is Rockbox code. At least the photos don't look like it. I guess we'll find out when/if it reaches an audience.
