Rio Karma 20GB Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the it-plays-ogg dept.

asv108 writes "The Rio Karma has been out on the market for over a month now with very little mainstream press. Slashdot covered the product announcement back in August for one of the first mainstream devices that supports OGG and FLAC playback. I've posted a little review of the 20 GB Rio Karma, which, besides OGG/FLAC/MP3/WMA playback, has a great little dock that syncs the player via ethernet. One little known gem is that this player comes with java-based software that allows users to download the software directly from the player via any browser and sync the Karma with Linux, Mac OS X, and any other OS that Java runs on."

    Because Apple sucks ass and is only viable because of the zealotry of a niche market who feel hip to own one.

    Are you really that proud of yourself for having an iPod? Do you really expect anybody to go like "Oooooh... cool!" now? Do you think you can feel respected by buying an iPod?
