| | Wired News: The Rio 500 Rocks |
 | | My mix was ready to put on the Rio -- some TMBG, Cake, a track from MK Ultra (one of many great indie bands that puts their music out in MP3), and yes, a little Backstreet Boys. |
 | | The Rio 500 also passed my durability test -- throwing it into my jacket pocket with keys that scratch and bump against it, throwing that jacket on the floor, forgetting about its precious cargo inside, and yes, dropping it a few times. |
 | | The Rio 500 is upgradeable, so that when the second phase of the SDMI spec comes out -- when is still uncertain -- the Rio 500 can be updated to incorporate digital rights management technology from Intertrust, according to Kurt Ohlfs, business development manager at RioPort.com, a wholly owned subsidiary of Diamond Multimedia. |
