Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2005 11:33:24 +0400 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 -----Original Message----- From: rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se [mailto:rockbox-bounces_at_cool.haxx.se] On Behalf Of Jonas H.

Its bad to say the least! 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. -- Jonas H rasher(at)rasher(dot)dk -- no .sig todayReceived on 2005-09-25 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
