I explored reviving an old iPod for my son, but that route proved cost prohibitive. Instead, I bought an Innoasys Y1. It supports RockBox (and, somewhat uniquely, Bluetooth with RockBox) and I was able to create a customized CoverFlow landing surface so my son (still learning to read) can listen to music and podcasts freely. It’s been great.
How is it possible that I have never seen before? Some months ago I got an iPod classic 5 and I modded it with the usual stuff (battery, micro sd, clear case). Unfortunately it has been a tough repair so I have spent approximately 100 euros on it (50 for the iPod and 50 in parts) but it still isn't as good as I would like it and I still need to use wired headphones, which is ok to do while at home or in the office, but it becomes kind of a hassle when you go outside. If I had seen this earlier I would have bought it.
