Running Linux an Archos Multimedia Player

An anonymous reader writes "A new project is developing a Linux port for Archos portable multimedia harddisk player/recorders. The LinAV project began in April, and has focused initially on the AV3xx-series devices, so far releasing a working kernel and a build environment for graphical applications based on the nano-X API. The LinAV project appears to be the first to actually achieve a Linux port to an Archos product. LinAV is based on uClinux, the version of Linux for devices based on processors without a memory management unit (MMU). However, at CEBIT last year, Archos was rumored to have a next-generation AV500 portable multimedia player that appeared to be running Linux."

mobile phone, poratable music, DVD, PDA and handheld game machine are converging. Why still pretend there is viable market for non multifunction portable?

It won't happen until they can make a device that does all those things, well, and in the same small package.
