Burt - The new issue of Time has a technology buyer's guide. Two products shown should be of interest to NCII holders: The Diamond Multimedia Rio music player and Sony's Voicefile ICD-80. The writer says of the Rio:

"The most intriguing new portable device is D-M's Rio, a $200 handheld digital music player that stores up to 60 min. of CD-quality sound downloaded from the Internet. The Rio still has a long way to go -- it's more bother than joy to spend 10 min. per song downloading what little mainstream music you can find online in the special format the Rio requires. Yet the idea of hand-picking songs from a vast online database, then bringing your favorites on a jog, the morning commute or to a lengthy session with the dentist is irresisible.

The Rio is years away from becoming a mainstream product, but its cool factor is, well, really cool."

The SONY Voicefile lets users send audio files as e-mail attachments. It stores 48 min. worth of recording and organizes voice memos in folders. The writer says, "We love the small silver case but not the $250 price."

What do you think? Is NCII's music player years away from becoming a "mainstream product"? Can Lanier's recorder out-perform SONY?
