Should I grab the new GigaBeat, or wait it out for this? Either way, I could be waiting for a while...

Highlight of the day: a video-interview with Hugo Fiennes at Sigmatel, the main guy behind the Rio Karma, Chroma, Avalon, Cubic, and Opel (the last 4 of which never made it to market). We got a product demonstation of Sigmatel's reference design for a player that's just like the Rio Avalon - an 8gb MicroDrive based player which has the same body style as the Rio Carbon but has a color screen and all the features of the Rio Karma. All that and more... video playback, animated backgrounds, album art, semi-transparent menu overlays, etc. Very nice. We also learned details of the Opel - which could have been, which still could be - the ultimate DAP. More on that later. |
