Just placed my order for a Rio receiver on Amazon (which claims to have stock again). Sorry everyone, but everytime I buy the "superior" and/or "open" solution for MP3s it gets deprecated.

PJB100 - the first (and still the best sounding) portable hard disk player. Sold by Compaq to Hango and now for all purposes EOL. Although units continue to be available for sale, all manufacturer support has gone. Its down to the hackers, thank God they GPL'ed the SDK.

RioCar - nuff said. Again, thank God for open standards and hackers.

Rio Receiver - soon??

Hope not, but the price drop and giving them away with Rio Central's smell like EOL stock clearance moves. Did they announce the RioCar EOL before or after the price drop?
