Quite nice, but a completely different product to the Receiver. It's a music server, not a thin client.

Rio don't have a comparable product - yet. The development of such a product was announced in a press release several months ago, so maybe you'll be able to compare like with like soon.

No apologies please!

At lesat we understand the nature of the beast, the Rio Pusher (although it'll be called something else - too many connotations with that!).

I like the idea it's sweet - a blend of empeg/receiver.

Hmmmm - the potentials.

Rob, please stop spending my money.

Paul.

(/me slaps Compaq's marketing department around a few times for the iPaq line)

Anyhow, this definitly looks like more competition to the AudioRequest people.

And it looks like their BBS already has a lengthy thread on the subject. AudioRequest should have learned from empeg and tried a bit harder to go the OEM solution provider route. Seems to have worked out well for empeg.

(Oh, and any chance of enabling HTML support on this BBS like the empeg one?)

Done.

Thanks. Being a web designer, that drove me nuts having to use the bracket url thing instead of a href
