Rockbox support

Hi everybody,
I was wondering where to write for requesting Apple to support rockbox project.
My friends have just gave me as a present an ipod nano 3rd gen but it's quite hard to use it cause of my music library: 11000 ogg & flac files.

I knew that rockbox supported those files but I discovered that rockbox developers can't build a version for ipods nano (2nd 3rd and 4th gen) because the firmware (or something like that) is crypted!

I think that apple wouldn't loose any income giving to rockbox guys the information they need! Ipod nano is a really nice player but the software is not that powerful (I won't list here all the function of rockbox...but I can assure you that there are really precious ones)

Finally I have seen in ipod nano copyright that the software uses a lot of opensource software! I think that, if you make use of it you should at least support it!

What do you think about this?
Where could I ask for support?

thanks in advances,
Pietro

ps: I apologize for my bad English, it's not my mother tongue.

Ipod nano 3rd gen, Other OS

Dude... There is no chance in the world that apple will support a group that modifies their products! To them its like destroying their art, their work! They would never go for this! I am sorry but it just wont happen. It ***** but it just wont happen. But dont worry RockBox wont quit.
And your English wasnt too bad.
