Date: Fri, 06 Oct 2006 19:07:24 -0600 Hi list, I'm checking out a sansa E200, and I saw on some forums that rockbox support was being done, and Sandisk was actually helping with the development. Any more word on this, current progress, anything? I'd really like a Rockbox player. I have a feeling this one will be moderately usable, by that I mean actually using the menus being a blind user, but I'd definitely appreciate .ogg support and voice which would come with Rockbox.
