Digital Home Thoughts: C|NET Reviews the Rio Chiba

"The shape of the Chiba and the Cali is hard to describe. Each player resembles a fancy stopwatch (and yes, that sports feature is built into them). They're both insubstantial enough to make you doubt their build quality, and the Chiba is slightly lighter and more compact than its sibling. The street model weighs two ounces with the battery installed and measures 2.7 by 2.4 by 0.8 inches. It survived just fine through two weeks of testing, but we can't say how well it would hold up over several months. The Chiba comes in a white 128MB and a black 256MB version, both of which have black rubber trim."

Any Rio fans out there? I'm a big fan of their hardware design - it's slick and doesn't look like it came out of Taiwanese cookie-cutter factory. ;-)
