Mark,
I had a 30 Gig Video Ipod and returned it for some of the same reasons. I found 
it to be pretty good, but the click wheel is a little hard to get use to. I 
also found that the Rockbox firmware would lock up on me.
I did like to formfactor and miss it, however, I am going to try an iAudio X5 
to see if it works better for me. From what I have heard from some podcasts it 
seems easier to operate with the joystick.
Hope this helps,
Vinny

  hi list, my Iriver has died and I am looking at the Ipods for my replacement.
  Have I understood the rock box site correctly, in as much as the Ipod 30 and 
60GB 5th generation are  working with rock box?
  if so, anyone out using it at the moment?
  Speaking to a friend who was using the Ipod video about a year ago, he said 
it was  a little difficult to operate with the wheal and not really  worth the 
effort.
  experienced problems getting the  voice box script to work on the Ipod video.
  Have we seen an improvement on the Ipod video in terms of rock box support, 
and functionality?

  any info much appreciated.

  RGDS,

  mark
