I may be wrong, but I think the Rio site claimed it had VR already. I know it claimed that it supported WAV and WMA (with no mention of having to wait a year for updated software). I love me empeg, but I agree that there was some false advertising. I think it was more on the part of SonicBlue who did not really understand the product then the original guys from empeg though. Personally I will feel a bit screwed over if VR never happens, but I am still hopeful that it will show up at some point.
