thinfourth2 Pooh-Bah Registered: 13/04/2001 Posts: 1742 Loc: The land of the pale blue peop...	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 _________________________ P.Allison fixer of big engines Mk2+Mk2a signed by God / Hacked by the Lord Aberdeen Scotland

Will new poster Registered: 06/05/2001 Posts: 12 Loc: Plymouth, UK	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) Blue 40Gb + Amber 36Gb

SuperQ addict Registered: 13/06/2000 Posts: 429 Loc: Berlin, DE	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 :) 12gig red mk2 -- 080000125 _________________________ 80gig red mk2 -- 080000125 (No, I don't actually hate Alan Cox)

tfabris carpal tunnel Registered: 20/12/1999 Posts: 31600 Loc: Seattle, WA	No response from empeg staff.... I think you are on to something! 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... ___________ Tony Fabris _________________________ Tony Fabris

bonzi pooh-bah Registered: 13/09/1999 Posts: 2401 Loc: Croatia	We're just going to sit back and watch until you all conclude we have actually been working on the next Mars lander mission. Somehow I believe the last two landers would be better off had you been working on their software... Although perhaps a bit late...
