Does anyone know why the processor of the clip zip and clip+ (and also Rockbox possibilites) is no more in production. There would be a lot of people thankful if this could be possible. They would even pay more money to use Rockbox and all other functions in the future…

It was a custom part made only for Sandisk, so they would have discontinued it when Sandisk stopped ordering them.
