Interesting but one comment. I would hope the final product come closed or at least encased in plastic. I like the design and small profile but I can think about is dust and cat hair getting on the board. Now if the display was ProLux, it would be incredibly sweet.

P.S. I also don't agree with this comment on their
FAQ page:
The fluorescent display looks great, but aren't those pretty expensive? Have you considered using a cheaper LCD display?
We simply were not willing to compromise on the SliMP3's interface. We evaluated several LCD displays from different manufacturers, but none came remotely close to the VFD in brightness and readability. Many were completely unreadable at a distance of just five feet. Fluorescent displays cost about twice as much, and you get what you pay for!
Also, their lack of info on the Rio seems odd. I thought RR worked on Mac and Lynux?
