The list of patches applied is listed in the first post of my thread: http://www.anythingbutipod.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12583 Most unofficial builds tend to add more functionality and/or are more catered towards the device that they are build for. My builds also feature a slightly altered menu (regular build) and a more radically altered menu (menu build). For now, if you plan to watch video on your e200, you are better off using one of the unoffical builds on ABi. This is because the mpegplayer in the stock Rockbox build lacks resume and seeking. > Is there a reason why those patches aren't being included in the main > build?

Some will eventally make it into Rocbox proper once it is enough testing is done. Some won't, due to philosophical differences. > The next question I have (if anyone knows) is what FM region is > Australia?

You should be able to get somewhere between 12 to 16 hours depend on the codecs used, options enabled and usage pattern. As a temporary work around in my builds, I use a "Runtime Estimate" patch.
