Low-cost MP3 player gains fancy Linux port (LinuxDevices)
LinuxDevices takes a look
at the SanDisk Sansa e200. "The "Podzilla" open source application
suite was ported to a relatively inexpensive line of flash-based mp3
players. Originally developed by the iPod Linux project, the software now
runs on SanDisk's $100-$150 Sansa e200 devices, reports Sebastian Duell,
chief SansaLinux project developer."

Rockbox has been running on this series of devices for many months. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse-engineering done by Daniel Stenberg and the rest of the Rockbox team was instrumental in getting these Linux ports off the ground.

Well they do say that they require the rockbox bootloader to get Linux running on these things.
