I seriously hope that's not true, because it looks so stupid in that picture that it makes the shuffle look reasonable.

Hey, I never said that Austin said these are exact photos of the Chroma. Take a page from your book and quit putting words in *my* mouth AND Austin's mouth. If he thinks I misrepresented what he said, he can correct me. In the meantime, check out what Austin said here on his site regarding the Chroma.

Here's a sample for you. (Emphasis is his, not mine)

We cannot confirm nor deny that THIS IS the actual design, but if we pretend that THIS IS IT, what do you think..? Post your reaction in the comments.

That wasn't directed at you mech that was directed at Krishna. And I'm a mod at DAPreview so I talk to austin on a regular basis lol

That pic has been around for a while, but I wouldn't totaly trust it, hopefully we'll get some more news about the chroma soon, but until then, I guess we'll just have to wait

........uhhhhh, no. But I'm extremely confused, extremely, EXTREMELY confused. I want that thing so badly.......somebody has to be stupid, errrr I mean "brave" enough to try this

. Somebody else email them and ask a LOT of questions, and see what they write back. Also, any volunteers to call the store and interrogate them

?

Well that really clears things up. Don't you love customer service?

Maybe someone should just email Rio and see what they have to say about this.

already did, but I couldn't really get too far. I could only find a general customer service email and got a 5 business day reply estimate......which basically means that I won't be hearing from them any time soon, if at all.

Walmart has it listed but the pic is a carbon.

Walmart.com

FreAk

 

[HD-5000]

If that's the real deal...

Yay, great. Back to two-handed operation. And also, why did Rio stick with only 20GB?

 

[Cyclone]

they might well be introducing the 40gb later. Creative did the same thing with the touch.

Interesting ad; a weird mixture of the karma and carbon stats. I wonder why would they bother putting together those random (incorrect) facts. Hddrive of the kamra, battery and size of the carbon...
