I pop into the riovolution boards from time to time, and every once in a while mike has said something interesting... I just thought I'd pass the latest one along here...
The high level sequence of operations of synchronizing and download is the same among at least 3 or 4 Rio devices. There are at least two protocols that I know of (Protocol1 = Empeg/Jupiter/etc, Protocol2 = Karma/other new things).

Other new things, eh? Anyone care to speculate?

I thought they used a different protocol that was specific to "flash" based players?

Dunno about the protocol, but much of the UI looks pretty similar.

plus the fact that they all work with RMM2 from the getgo.

Meant to imply the talk of Empeg w/ Protocol2

Sorry to get you excited ...

Considering flash players are USB, I would guess it's totally different, but I don't have any actual knowledge of that ...
