The Mystery Gadget Posted May 19, 2005 3:58 UTC (Thu) by bk (guest, #25617) [Link] The Rockbox project is working on Free firmware for the H1xx series of iRiver players, hopefully they'll support your H3xx model too pretty soon. Other than the screen (color on 3xx, 2 bit greyscale on 1xx), the architectures are very similar.Of course I agree with the theme of your article; we wouldn't need to wait for volunteers to hack free alternatives if the devices were free and open to begin with.
