Hello all,

About rockbox, I don't know about the interface on the
iPod nano. I recently updated to the latest iPod video
version of rockbox, and noticed that the interface is
more responsive. However, the downsides of rockbox
remain: battery life is limited on iPods (I get about
6 hours max), browsing the database is somewhat
cumbersome. However, I really like the positive sides:
Ogg support, fully customizable menus and layout,
moving files back and forth is quick, and I can play
Doom :-)).

In my opinion, iPod + rockbox + gpodder work very
nicely together.

Cheers
Wilfred
