Okay we know that the folks at empeg are making something for Rio.

Rob has said that the work was related to the Rio Car

If you look throught the rio website they have a couple of memory card based players, a cd mp3 player, a really good car player. What they don't have is a small hard disc based player along the lines of the creative jukebox

i can't wait to see it if i am right

Seems pretty probable.... :) Should be "fairly easy" to modify the empeg design for something like that.

I just hope that it will use a software decoder so that it can support new formats, otherwise you could just call it a PJB or Treo under another name (and probably without the bugs)

I think something more interesting would be a more modular player.. it could basicaly be a removeable drive bay, that you could switch between car, home, and portable... that would be something I'd almost replace my empeg with :)

Reminds me of the scene in the movie "Dick", where Woodward and Bernstein are trying to confirm names from the informants. They come up with the idea that they'll say a name, then wait ten seconds. If there's no reply, then that's the confirmation. The problem was that the informants got interrupted during the call...

We're just going to sit back and watch until you all conclude we have actually been working on the next Mars lander mission.

Damn, now I let the cat out of the bag!

Somehow I believe the last two landers would be better off had you been working on their software... Although perhaps a bit late...

Is the Mars Lander equipped with an empeg?

Lemmie guess - it can't communicate with earth because the tuner module isn't ready yet.

[wah!]
