I never had heard of Cowon iAudio devices and I'm amazed. It supports
OGG and FLAC apart from MP3 which would be a plus for me. I love FLAC
and other loseless for classical music which suffers a lot when
encoded to loosy formats on almost all bitrates.

But, even better, I can put there a GPL firmware! What can Rockbox
make for me if I buy a, let's say, iAudio X5 device?

If using an X5 with Rockbox I can:

- Listen to music in MP3 and FLAC formats
- Store photos as JPEG at full size (let's say 1600x1200)
- View MPEG4 (DivX or XviD) films
- Listen to FM

Then this is certainly my dreamed machine.

Any comments?

Cordially, Ismael
