Ask HN: Nobody interested an open hardware iPod Nano?
So here is the thing: The iPod Nano 7g is from 2012. I've seen many people designing custom PCBs and releasing Kickstarter projects for custom audio players[5] or game handhelds[6]. I know Rockbox (which is great, but its lacks support for Wifi and Bluetooth AFAIK and just does not compete with the UX of iPod's audio book features in my opinion) and iPod Linux. 10 years ago someone even reverse engineered the iPod Nano 6g display[3].
Although I'm not skilled enough in PCB-Design, after some research I found the Lilygo T-Display S3 Pro[4] based on ESP32 S3, which would be the size, but lacks audio and OS. There is also the Mango PI CyberPad[7], which looked interesting, but maybe is already too clunky.
Programming wise, LVGL[8] may be a good framework to develop a modern and efficient UI - at least it looks promising.
So, why is nobody interested in recreating an iPod nano like device? It should be doable with modern tech, but Phones have completely taken over the marked...

Ask HN: Funkey S – open hardware / firmware portable device, project ideas?
I thought with some modifications (touchscreen, audio jack) it might be possible to create a small, affordable and hackable replacement of my iPod nano (see my github issue[5]).
So I would like to Ask HN:
- What would you think of a retro portable audio player mod?
- What other interesting projects could you think of for this?

Is this worth it? (I already have a rg35xx. Looking for something smaller)
If you want an alternative ultra tiny handheld, I own and recommend the FunKey S
-
The first batch of black transparent
If what makes it special is it’s size, then the Funkey S is even more special!
-
I love my funkey s the small size can be a little bit awkward at times but overall it was worthwhile purchase
Through https://www.funkey-project.com/
You can buy one from https://www.funkey-project.com/ , but also I’m looking to sell mine after a while if you’re interested and in the US
-
What discontinued thing do you really want brought back?
They sell a tiny keychain one now, but its almost too tiny, micro SD.

What they say: "The Steam Deck is too bulky!" What I imagine they want:
This isn't what's pictured, but it's almost as good: https://www.funkey-project.com/
