Hi Sarah

Before you start jumping up and down remember that the iPod has a
distinct lack of buttons as compared to the other players and has those
nasty panels you just drag your finger over to fast forward etc. I am
blind and remember fiddling about with one and there is no way known to
man, or woman to avoid any sexist comments, that I would want to own
one. Also I am currently using the iriver H340 fairly successfully
without speech but cant wait for rockbox

cheers

Hamish

If Rockbox were to run on iPods, it wouldn't need iTunes. You'd simply
use it as a drive, just like Archos devices are used now.
