theora - May 2010 - FLOSS portable media player

since we are doing a FLOSS video camera,
why not a FLOSS portable media player?

The follow-on Pandora handheld game device uses the OMAP3 chip, so it
should be able to play back theora with either the arm or the TI C64+
ports. The same with the Nokia N900 tablet, which might be easier to
get a hold of currently. Both of those devices are open source
friendly, although neither is open hardware.

I know about these two device, but they have too much stuff for just a portable
media player...
