66 \item[Current limitations.] Most Rockbox functions are usable on the
67 \playertype{}/\playertype{}+, including music playback and most plugins, but
68 there are a number of shortcomings that prevent it from being a fully
69 supported target:
70 \begin{itemize}
71 \item An SD card is required to use many features, since the internal
72 flash memory is read-only in Rockbox.
73 \warn{The SD driver is still in development and may contain bugs.
74 There have been reports of SD cards becoming unusable after being used
75 with Rockbox on \playerman{} \playertype{}. Only use old, low-capacity
76 cards until we are satisfied the driver is safe to use.\\}
77 \item There is only basic touchscreen support. Further work is
78 required to make the UI more usable with a touchscreen in general.
79 \note{The touchscreen can be used in two modes, either a 3x3 grid mode
80 which divides the screen into areas to emulate a set of physical
81 buttons (the default setting), or ``absolute point'' mode where the
82 touchscreen is used to point to items on the screen.\\}
