Rockbox for GP2X, would this be a possibilty?

Not sure whether it's possible but why would you want to replace the firmware to turn your GP2X into a pure media player?

rockbox does run little programs and stuff (and i thank god that the iriver port got into gear) but still i don't see any good reason for doing this.
 
I was wondering about this also.
Not so much as complete replacement to the current OS, but perhaps ripping out the media player part of RockBox and using it instead of the current one.

Hehe, dual boot even? ;)
 
well, rockbox does have its share of problems. and afaik the main things that makes solid-state mp3 players better for that task is the combination of specialized hardware, the lack of unnecessary features, and the inclusion of a custom lithium battery. i get over 10 hours of battery on my iriver...i'm sure it'd be a bit less if i had a color screen that was backlit 100% of the time, and i was always playing doom on it. :)
