good karma
Remember last week when I talked about the Nomad Zen NX, saying how it would be great if these new MP3 players would just shrink for us?
Like a bolt from the heavens, these appeared. As if to shout to the world, "Nay, we are not dead," Rio has created four new MP3 players to be unleashed hopefully sometime this year (rumored street date is October 17th). The most appealing of them all though is the hard drive based Rio Karma which can hold 40 GB of data. It will also support USB 2.0, have its own ethernet port and be able to play WMA and Ogg Vorbis. All for a tidy $450 US. Will the iPod finally be dethroned?
