What is interesting about this is that according to the above information - the domain riocar.com was registered before (if I recall the details correctly now) the S3 announcement of the acquisition of Empeg by Sonicblue.

Not sure if anyone can shed any light on this - it could be a hint that someone had inside information about the empeg/RioCar product beforehand, or maybe someone guessed correctly that S# might do a mp3 car player under the Rio brand?

Can't accuse anyone of cyber-squatting if they registered a domain name before the product even existed can you?

Can any of the Empeg guys comment on the dates here - I know this was probably thrashed to death back when this domain was first registered.
