Nice to know that the talking menus are getting some notice. ----- Original Message ----- From: "[IDC]Dragon" <idc-dragon_at_gmx.de> To: "Rockbox development" <rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se> Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2004 6:50 AM Subject: Re: CeBit 2004 > as I tomorrow will visit the CeBIT at Hannover, what Do you say? > Shall I go to Archos and show them Rockbox? > In if yes: What do I have to show them? > Do you have a real cool Video for me? I'm at the show right now. Have been to the Archos booth, reaction was moderate. Flashing didn't grip them, talking menus caused some attraction, video the most. I've spoken to their marketing manager, Remi Durand. He's aware of Rockbox and the AV story. Let's see what evolves, they mentioned opening the platform to some extent. But he also said the bad NDA word. I've seen a prototype of a new product. Similar to the AV3x0, but with 1.8" drive and much more slim. Looked like an IPAQ PDA and also has a touchscreen. The battery is user-exchangeable, in a little compartment at the back. They said they don't know yet what kind of product they will make from it. Interesting to note that it was running Linux, mabe OPIE or so. He said this one will probably be open, except for the A/V part. I asked for which CPU is in, but they didn't disclose that info. Other news is thas the Gmini will get a more powerful processor soon, to be able to do DRM. Their lead developers are also here today, but running around, not at the Archos booth. Maybe I have a chance to catch them in the evening. So far from the CeBIT, Jörg -- +++ NEU bei GMX und erstmalig in Deutschland: TÜV-geprüfter Virenschutz +++ 100% Virenerkennung nach Wildlist.
