Open MP3 device

after previously reporting that they'd open sourced their player firmware, /. reports that Neuros Audio has released the schematics for their player.

Now that I've got a full-time gig, it looks like I'm not going to be doing anything for ZVue after all (and I need to call 'em up and see if they want their player back), but one of the things I was looking forward to was the opportunity to build a player that dealt with spoken content better, that'd let me bookmark, export those things as edit lists, that sort of adjustment; exactly the sort of enhancements that "podcasting" needs. I've got way too many other things on my plate, but it sounds like maybe there's an opportunity for a player that can communicate backwards to the aggregators and with other tools.

Update: Tom Lokovic had a link to Rockbox, open source firmware for some of the Archos players.
