Rio Carbon Officially Official

The rumor mill got it right. Today Rio introduced the Carbon, a 5GB successor to the 1.5GB Nitrus. Reportedly it will retail at $249 (same as the iPod Mini) and weigh only 3.2oz (the iPod Mini weighs 3.6oz). No size specs have been published, but if it's at all like the Nitrus it will be pretty tiny.

The Carbon is supposed to be available sometime this month.
