Oh man, it's HUGE!

Really? I thought the Karma was smaller than that. Hmmm you learn something new everyday.

The Karma is noticeably smaller in length and width. Thickness may be comparable though, but the Karma is still much lower in volume.

And this is comparing the Karma to a R500, which is still smaller than a S1. How did you make that assumption?

 

[D-EJ915]

I just remember the size vaguely from when I saw the Rio at the store.

 

[myself, aka me]

I remember someone (was it you DEJ?) comparing the size of the S1 to twelve floppy discs stacked on top of each other.

And SBG calls that "not huge".

I just call things big and small depending on what they're supposed to hold... I mean... a minidisc ain't that big...

And whats with the egg white with orange spots on it? Looks...kinda... funky... (or is the rubber for shock protection?)

 

[Superbaldguy]

The S1's enhanced size makes it easy to hold and manipulate the little joystick controller. It's a good, bag-around unit and doesn't need a case.

I went to Best Buy and the Karma is a whole lot smaller...oops...haha.

the floppy disc comment wasn't mine...but...it's as tall as 8 MDs at the highest poing (when laying flat), and a little over 5 at the thinnest.

I think that compared to many other MD units, that IS quite large,

Yes, it is, my MZ-E50 is 3 MDs tall, which is about as thick as the new top-end recorders.

yep...Thickness Comparison
