Hi,
if you are looking for an ipod that is the 30 GB you should look on amazon.com
they have a 30 5 genoration ipod for 149$ i think.
but look on that website for ipods.

  How much did your iPod Video cost?  I'm just trying to compare the prices you 
pay at different locations with the storage capacity offered.

    Hi Mark,

     

    I am using the 5.5 generation I-Pod with the latest version of rock box as 
of this past Saturday, and it's working fine.  It did lock up on me once or 
twice, but I got it back okay, and I do like it.  The wheel is a bit hard to 
get used to, but it can be gotten used to, I think, and my husband said it's 
not much different for sighted people to get used to.  I have gotten the voice 
box script working fine on it, too.  This I-Pod was just purchased Saturday at 
Circuit city, and it is a 30-GB I-Pod video 5.5.  I am also reading audible 
books from the Apple firmware with no problems at all.  Hope this helps.  It's 
a lot easier than I thought it would be from what I had heard, honestly.

     

    Obviously, it doesn't give me as much verbal feedback as the bookPort, but 
I have no problems operating it, which I was afraid I might.

     

    Have a blessed day,

    Nicki,

    Loving Jesus and loving my husband

    hi Vinny, thanks for getting back to me.

     was it the 5.5 generation video Ipod? and which build of rock box were you 
running at the time?

    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
