The Rio Forge

And now the Rio Forge is officially out, their new line of Flash-based MP3 players aimed at those with a more "active" lifestyle (which we're guessing does not include sitting on one's ass blogging about gadgets all day). Like we'd heard, the Rio Forge comes in three versions (128MB, 256MB, and 512MB), all three of which feature built-in FM tuners, a stopwatch and lap timer, a battery life of 20 hours, and an SD card slot for adding extra memory. What we had not figured on was how ugly it'd be.
