My only question about the press release is:

"Recent reports show that the Rio Nitrus 1.5GB is the best-selling 1.5GB MP3 player on the market"

What other 1.5gb players are on the market right now?

Creative, iRiver and another one that I forget right now. None of them have been able to get close to the Nitrus form factor and battery life.

"The estimated U.S. street price is $249."

Crap. I just bought my 1.5 GB Nitrus from Dell last month for $249. Swell.

..which I think is actually higher than the SRP at the time!
