I'm not the original poster, but here's how I interpreted his statements. By "doesn't run as long as the original firmware", I assume he meant that the battery didn't last as long with Rockbox as it did with the original firmware. There has been some work recently on Rockbox and battery usage, so this may have gotten better or be getting better.
"However, newer ipods aren't supported; you'll have to look for an ipod video, nano, etc." I think is still pretty clear. Even if the iPod Video, Nano are considered new, that doesn't mean that the "newer" iPod's are supported. Here's what it says on the Rockbox.org site: • Apple: 1st through 5.5th generation iPod, iPod Mini and 1st generation iPod Nano (not the Shuffle, 2nd/3rd gen Nano, Classic or Touch) Steve Matzura wrote: > On Sun, 06 Apr 2008 20:27:13 -0600, you wrote: > > >> I absolutely love rockbox.
