The crew at Rockbox, a venerable open source replacement firmware project for Archos audio players, is putting together an effort to port their firmware to the iRiver H1xx-series of devices. In the wake of iRiver's much-maligned (and delayed) attempts to add desirable features to their proprietary firmware, this is excellent news.

Sounds like iRiver was hoping for this all along. They are smarter than we think. ;-)
