Rio Introduces Carbon, iPod Mini Contender
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
"The Rio Carbon 5GB is the next generation compact player with power and performance. Rio Carbon 5GB is perfect for the music lover with a few hundred CDs or someone starting out their digital audio collection who wants room to grow. The ultra slim design goes anywhere, and its superb battery life of up to 20 hours continues long after mini-powered players have died."
Yes, Rio is gunning straight for Apple's Mini. And though I'm not keen on the navigation controls and user software, I have to say this product doesn't look all that bad to me. Not to mention the advantage in battery life. Still, priced at $249 (same as the iPod Mini) I would choose the iPod over Carbon.
