Low-cost MP3 player gains fancy Linux port
,----[ Quote ]
| The "Podzilla" open source application suite has been successfully ported to
| a relatively inexpensive line of flash-based mp3 players. Originally
| developed by the iPod Linux project, the software is now running on SanDisk's
| $100-$150 Sansa e200 devices, reports Sebastian Duell, chief developer for
| the SansaLinux project.

|
| In addition to Podzilla2, other source files used in the port include
| BusyBox, the SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) cross-platform graphics library,
| the libhotdog compiler, and the TTK iPod GUI library. The port is based on
| the iPod Project's iPod Linux, which was first released in 2003.

| computers. Installing iPod Linux does not mean going without the familiar

| Organizers set up laptops running Ubuntu GNU/Linux, Mac OS X,
| and Windows XP at the center of the room. iPod users brought
| their players to experienced users, who would determine the
| generation of the iPod and the current partition format, and
| inquire about the user's needs. Together they would decide on
| a firmware (RockBox, iPodLinux, or both) and walk through the
| process of installation. Meanwhile, others looked on to watch
| the process and learn how it was done. RockBox was installed
| on the majority of the iPods with great success.

| Now I call it a laptop, and it technically is. It is able to run a
