they're different -- tangara is an ipod homage with custom firmware and a touchwheel. echo r1 is meant to run rockbox with buttons.
they differ in i/o ports as well: tangara has a regular old headphone jack. echo r1 has a TRRS jack and a line-out jack.

Since it has ESP32 wifi, how is the battery life on tangara?

I remember being young and having loading Rockbox on my iPod. Great times.
Playing DOOM, which I hid from my hyper-religious parents, was always a blast. It trashed the battery so I kept it plugged in - it would get very hot. Probably terrible for the device but I was a kid and wanted to slay some demons.
There was a Mandelbrot viewer that was pretty cool. Lots of stuff I'm probably forgetting.
It also functioned as a device for adult images that I would dual boot into. Not the best for my young brain most likely. Still, I have plenty of nostalgia around using computers to solve parental problems. Or creating more because I didn't understand partitioning, boot loaders, or really anything when installing Ubuntu on a family machine. :)
