Comment Hugof, Karma Developer has spoken. (Score 1) 356
One of the prime developers for this device has been talking about it in depth for a while over on the MP3.com forums.
The website does poorly reflect linux compatibility. According to Hugo the player sports a Java (and native Windows) interface via the Ethernet. It uses the same codebase as the Rio Reciever. It has a somewhat proprietary filesystem (for "stability" reasons) so it might be hard to pull the trick iPod uses like--using them as a portable hard disk.
Can't wait for the 40gb version.
One thing I'm sort of bothered about is the fact that 20gb = 20,000,000,000bytes. rather than 1000x1024x1024 or 1024x1024x1024. I guess DVDs are advertised with a similiarly quirked system and at least they mention the definition. Anyone know about the iPod?
