Rio Karma 2 delayed?
Has Rio delayed the Karma 2, the next version of their flagship MP3 player? To be honest, we're not entirely sure.
Gear.ign.com reports meeting up with Rio to check out their new line up of players, a line up from which the Karma 2 was conspicuously absent, with Rio explaining that its release has now been pushed back until spring of next year.
Which leaves one nagging question: how exactly does the Rio Chroma fit into all this? The Chroma is the MP3 player that turned up and then mysteriously disappeared from Rio's website over the weekend, and was not among the other players they announced earlier this week, the
Rio Carbon and the
Rio Forge. So is the Chroma a different player entirely from the Karma 2 or are they same thing? Is it just a new version of the old Karma but with a color LCD
screen? And why is it going to take them until next year to get this thing out if they were already showing off a prototype at this past January's Consumer Electronics Show?
