Interesting.

when I read the specs of the S10 and S30S I wondered if the software [firmware] in the unit was also done by you guys.
The UI looks pretty neat. So does the Blue display. Hmm, I can think of another portable mp3 device that could use a display& UI like that.

what sort of processor do the S10 & S30 have in them? Strongarm or something else?

Also, when you say "This release is just a taste of what's to come" do you mean the Rio Music Manager [Emplode lite]? or the audio products or both?
[and don't just say "yes" :-) ]

I must admit the S10/S30 look like portable devices that at first glance I might actually buy - a bit like the Empeg when I first saw it].
- I like the idea of SD or MMC upgradability as this means you can buy this from anywhere these days no need for special [Rio only] upgrades cards.

Presumably the stated firmware upgradability is implemented in the Rio Music Manager software in a similar way to firmware upgrades for the empeg/rioCar?
