The Sansa series players are hardware, with an OS (firmware) to allow them to play music, why would they care if it gets “Rockboxed”?

 

Sandisk have certainly cared before, about just that.  The active encouragement by Sandisk of ports of the Rockbox firmware to their player helped put the Sansa brand on the map.   People like to have options, especially creative  intriguing options.  As a current Sansa View owner I wish I had such an option right now.
