One word: LAME.

Will it take off? Maybe. At the current price? Not a chance. too much for such an unfinished and unpolished product with very little in the way of expandability. It's using a Micronas MP3 decoder...

Anyone wanting a Rio Receiver: PayPal some money to someone in the US that you trust and get them to buy one for you and ship it to wherever you wish to receive it.

Not to mention that Sonic would more than likely have a better and more polished thin client before this project gets anywhere near completed.
