Possibility: New ipod touch on September 9

[goobimama]

I'm not talking about 1:1 syncing. Even Small Cat can do that. I'm talking about stuff like if I have 24 episodes of a TV show, I don't want all those on my iPhone. I want 3 of the least recent TV shows on my device. After I'm done watching those, or even one of those, it deletes and replaces it with a newer episode, while keeping track of my playback position.

And I have yet to come across someone with a rockbox installation on his iPod. That is just plain stupid.

I couldn't use the rockbox UI for more than 15 minutes. It's horrendous!

And if a Windows user has a problem with some UI, it must be really bad. Like, filthy, intolerably bad.

Never, EVER felt the need for such a crazy feature. Sorry.

Really ? Well, I have used it on several iPods, mainly iPod 5G, and I must agree that its beautiful. The UI looked average to me, but I liked the fact that you can install themes in it and change them as often as you like. But what I liked the most were the available extra features. Especially the fact that you can play games like Pacman and Doom on it, along with that game boy advance emulator it has. This makes it a multifunctional device.

You can't comment on a UI unless you USE it once.

Yeah, if you haven’t felt the need for it, it must be a “crazy” feature.

You hate the idea that anyone should be so convenient and automatic. You want to keep copy-pasting files manually, deleting them when you’re done and copying new files again. Convenience is just too darn annoying for you. I know the type.

Well, judging by your description, even looking at a screenshot should be enough. A good UI is not about how beautiful it is. If it were so, no one would say that the iPod has a good UI. It’s basically just bland lists of various items on a plain background. It’s about how usable it is. But yeah, who cares about usability as long as you can play pirated movies without having to convert them and listen to songs in twenty different formats, right?

You might want to leave the iPod customizing talk to people who do it and know about it.

No problem.
But still, doesn't the idea of being able to GAME on an iPod bring any exitement ?

Thats the SINGLE reason why most people install rockbox, the other being format compatibility.

On long train journeys, songs can only entertain you for so long. But a round or two of Mario on the other hand...

And btw, rockbox is actually a dual boot, so you can access both default firmware and rockbox.

You can game on any iPod with a screen even without Rockbox.
