i love my rio one, usb mass storage, vfat, i have a 128 meg cf card and 32 internall, lets me load about 3 hours of music, runs about 10 hours on one AA battery, i take it out skateboarding all the time, handles shocks well.
Only problems is that you cant manipulate the playlist, and on my original rio the solder connection for the wire running between the battery harness and the circuit board came loose.. not a problem if you can solder. the newer one doesnt use a wire there though, just a spring coil so there isnt even that problem.. about the only thing you could do to break it is crack the lcd.
