hi Geetha, do you have the 5th Generation, or the 5.5 generation Ipod video?
I understand there is a difference with regards battery life and rock box?
how are you finding the battery life?
are you getting many lock ups?

Hi Mark,

You have indeed understood the Rockbox site correctly. 
I purchased a 30GB iPod a few weeks ago, and am quite happy with it overall. 
  I have had no problems at all operating with the wheel -- in fact I use a 
skin all the time and still have no problems. 
  And I had no trouble with the voicebox script either.
  Except for the occasional lockups, I am extremely happy with  the 
Rockbox/iPod combination. 
  Should you have further questions, please feel free to ask.    
  Geetha

  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
