The name is Neuros. Information can be found on
http://www.neurosaudio.com/ . They actually approached the Rockbox
project on IRC not too long ago while they were holding an IRC meeting,
discussing the next-gen Neuros (they're dumping their current line - it
may already be out of production, but I'm not sure). I think they were
mostly looking for any available input at that point though,
brainstorming every idea they could think of.

The problem with the current line of devices is that they employ a
Texas-Instruments DSP chip, which has no free compiler available. This
is obviously a major problem and a Rockbox show-stopper.

Maybe the next-gen will provide a more approachable hardware-set.
