So I âHackedâ My Crappy MP3 Player

,----[ Quote ]
| For starts, this OS loads FAST.  Not only that but it 
| came with a bunch of extra applications, visual 
| themes, and GAMES!  Yeah baby!  I couldnât believe it 
| when I loaded up a variant of id Softwareâs DOOM on my 
| cheap $30 MP3 player.  Thereâs no other way to say it 
| but Rockbox is one really awesome piece of software 
| and Iâm really happy I found it!  THANK YOU ROCKBOX!

| Who needs a 10.1 inch screen or an Atom processor when 
| you can get this 2.8â QVGA beauty with an XScale 
| processor for around $40?
