I can see your point about keeping rockbox if the nano just isn't the device you need, but i'm totally baffled about this iTell product. Rockbox is free, and in a totally different way from the apple firmware it's still fairly nifty. The iTell costs, doesn't give you as much information or usability as rockbox or a 4g nano, was about 4 years too late for me to be interested, and it's an extra device to carry around and worry about power for. I don't mean to be harsh to the developers of it at all, just think that out of the two rockbox is leaps and bounds ahead for anybody who can't afford/doesn't want to get a 4g. For what it's worth, I'm too broke to pick up a 4g myself at the mo so I'm in the same situation as you pretty much.
