Negative Positive
Title: The bare minimum
Review: I got the RIO for Christmas, while I was really hoping for a Techno Yepp. The RIO works. That's about it, though. The firmware is poorly designed. You have to go through four steps, just to see what time it is. The interface (buttons) are also poor; they feel cheap and are hard to use through the soft clip-on case. Finally, it looks like there's a lot of wasted space in the design. The player could be a little smaller, packed tighter, and feel a little less cheap.That being said, I haven't had any technical problems with my RIO. By tweaking the frequency of the playback, you can squeeze three hours of good quality music on 64 megs. That being said, I would jump at the opportunity to use something with software that was more intuitive.
Is the review positive or negative?
