Kobo Touch

Post by dwl99 »

The Kobo Touch has come down to 79 quid @ ASDA. I believe that it has a Linux-based OS. Anyone know if it would be theoretically possible to put Squeezeplay on it or do any other fiddling about with it? It has no earphone socket but does have a USB port.

I would suggest that this doesn't have a sound card if it doesn't have an earphone socket. It doesn't have video or music players as part of its spec; The only one that does is the Kobo Vox.

Yes, I was alluding to using one of the USB sound cards that work so well with the Joggler's native OS.

I mistakenly thought the USB was just to charge the device but I now notice that it can transfer data through USB.

Hmm... maybe...
