It also sucks to protect firmware.Changing the firmware voids your warranty so if people brick their device Apple's off the hook.
The alternative is that a bunch of open-source orientated devs make a device do way more things that the one you bought in the shop did..... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Nutt" <steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Kevin,I am only surprised they haven't done it before now, because it messes withthe firmware. They have with the Iphone.

I would like to be wrong and if anyone can tell me different I would like to hear from them. All the best for the new-year to all the list. -- Kevin Cussick E-Mail: kevin.cussick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mm0tmg----- Original Message ----- From: Steve <mailto:steve.dryden@xxxxxxx> DrydenTo: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, December 26, 2007 11:50 PM Subject: [access-uk] Ipod & rockbox Hi All, Sorry if this is old ground again. I've just bought an Ipod Classic 80 GBfor my son for Xmas. I wanted to put rockbox on it to try it out as I quitefancy one myself. I understand though that if I put rock box onto it, Ican't revert back to the old setup afterwards as obviously my son won't wantthe speech. Is this correct, or is there a way to put the player back tofactory defaults? Also, with the rockbox installed, will it then work likea secondary drive and show up in my computer. And, presumeably, would I then be able to use normal cut and paste rather than itunes? Cheers.
