Well, it is a British product I believe. It has a voice that most Windows users would be used to. Sounds like Viavoice. I don't think you can play protected content with Rockbox, and most of the content on my ipod is protected and is much more than be held on a 8GB or 16GB ipod. If I had a choice of making my old ipod which holds everything I want talk or buying a much smaller in storage size ipod that could talk I think I'd opt for the device. There's also the fact that you can access other Ipods, which is important to me. On Oct 12, 2008, at 9:26 PM, Scott Chesworth wrote: > hmm, they took way too long to make this really.
