Rio Chroma (Karma 2) picture and details leaked?

We don't have any official word on this yet, but online retailer Electronic Express (who has, admittedly, had a Rio
Chroma page up for awhile with rumored specs and information on the device) had this image posted to their site. Yeah, we will admit that it does look a little Photoshopped (we won't get in an in-depth analysis, though), but we gave them a call (as a customer, of course) and were able to get some information, most importantly that their web content comes straight from marketing materials given by sales reps; this seems very dubious given how secretive Rio is (we like to call them Apple Jr. around Engadget HQ). However, the person we spoke with said they've not yet been known to publish any falsified information of any kind, and that what's on the site is straight from the horse's mouth. They were also very clear on one point: the Chroma was to be expected to be available in January. (They quipped, "But knowing Rio, it'll probably be more like June or July.") Unfortunately, no one was further available for comment, so as usual, take it with a huge grain of salt and don't hold your breath.

P.S. If you want to buy into this, EE is offering two previously unrumored details: the Chroma is to be 1/3rd smaller than "previous models" (if they're referring to the Karma, we also find this highly dubious), and that it will include the long sought-after in-line remote.
