That's a consumer product at a high price which will have more competition than video cards have. No thanks. I would never spend $250 on a glorified Walkman which I have to spend time keeping loaded with music instead of just grabbing a tape or CD I want to listen to.

I think the market for these devices at current prices is way overestimated. Eventually they will come down to the $30-$40 range, in which case I might buy one.

S3 picks up the RIO product as well, IMO the market for this product should not be underestimated.

yep. 7 other companies haven't underestimated this product either.

people.goplay.com

and plus, RIO has to fight off the minidisc consortium. All in all, i think RIO is WAAAAAY overrated.
