iPOD GLITCHES OPEN DOOR TO MP3 RIVAL RIO
A new mini music player is threatening sales of Apple's mini ipod as it struggles to meet demand. The Rio Carbon could be available in days but the ipod has sold out nationwide since it went on sale last month. It may not be available for another six weeks. Both players cost £175, but the Rio has 20% more memory with capacity for about 1,250 tunes, and offers up to 12 hours more playback time. The ipod delay was caused when Apple ran out of a Toshiba component used in the player's hard drive. Rio use rival manufcturer Seagate".
