Recently I was browsing the web for an update to my old MP3 player, it has a color screen but it only plays MP3´s. I came across a Open Source Linux Firmware for my Toshiba MP3. After flashing my MP3 with this firmware I was able watch movies on my MP3!!!! Not possible with the original firmware, and play Games(also not possible before). Even my battery life has increased(due to power management features).
There are great looking themes, games and plugins for this OS. Its compatible with quite a few MP3 players such as iPod, iRiver, SanDisk, and more. If you want to drop by the site and check it out maybe breath some new life into a old gadget. Oh I forgot the best part, No more syncing songs with manufacturer software, all you need to do is copy paste the songs to the MP3. Some device´s can dual boot original firmware and rockbox firmware.
(Flash at your own risk, Ive done it without problems twice and its quite easy. You can always revert back to original firmware if you don't like it. I for one am keeping this Firmware.)
