Yes I think this RK27xx will be in the same arena as the Actions AJT2137 with it's embedded Linux.

This would be quite good as I hope it would mean users could get involved in the firmware development.
I think the Chinese are making great hardware, but their firmware isn't quite up to scratch to say the least, and is often abandoned too quickly.
I think the big problem area is playlist inplementation as it involves the player creating some sort of database, and obviously this gets stored on the flash somewhere, with all the problems this brings. (read/write speed different flash types etc.)
That's why players that have playlist sometimes hang, even big brand name players often have problems in this area.
I think I'm just gonna get another (cheap) Rockchip to satisfy my addiction over the xmas period and hold out for one of these newer embedded os players into next year.
