(so, it's just my > point of view ;)) I find the adaptation of the Archos products for blind users to be one of the most inspiring and exciting examples of how open source projects can benefit people. Even though Archos, Apple, Dell, Creative Labs, and Rio all make "jukebox" type products, none of them made the effort to adapt their product for blind users. That the Rockbox development team is doing so is a testament to the power of open source (and a condemnation of profit-is-everything businesses). With the tremendous disadvantage that blindness is, regardless of how courageously blind people cope, I won't mind of nothing ever gets done on Rockbox beyond making it more usable for them.
