Rio Reveals iPod Mini Slayer

Posted by timothy on from the slayer-is-relative dept.

Remik writes "Rio has released a limited edition of its new hard drive based player called Carbon. Coming in lighter and denser (3.2oz with 5 GB of storage) than the Ipod Mini with the same price tag $249, twice the battery life, and nearly the same dimensions. Rio has only made 500 players available in the initial offering, so get one while they last. There's more info at cNet, Pocket Lint and Gizmodo. Highlights: Drag and drop file transfer, charging over USB and Janus compliance."

    I'm just wondering who's pantleg that thing rolled down? C'mon Rio, you can, and have, done better in the past. Back to the drawing board with you and your iTurd

    Geeze. One other iPod extra that they have unknowingly cloned. Some kids will get beat up over that thing too. Not so much because of theft but more over someone harrasing the owner of that thing for having a "fake-assed" iPod. Kids are mean like that. I hate kids. They're only usefull when sold to gypsies for beer money and computer parts ;-)
