90% of that article is bollocks. Data taken from hidden placeholders can hardly be considered reliable!

We have, however, officially announced the Rio Forge (128/256/512MB flash players) and Rio Carbon (5GB micro HDD) today. Details on the web page, more details to follow, shipping later in the summer.

IMHO the Carbon is the sweetest player we have ever made - should be a very strong iPod Mini competitor.
