Rio Chroma Appears?

Web retailer Electronic Express has what they say is the new Rio Chroma. Of course it's listed as "out of stock" and is nowhere to be seen on Rio's webpage, but Electronic Express will happily take $320 for it.

The page lists specs for the device and two pop out as really significant, if true. First it is supposed to be "1/3 Smaller Than Previous Models" which seems highly unlikely given the already very compact previous Rio devices. Second is the new addition of an inline remote control, which is always a nice touch.

We however are taking this with a grain of salt. The photo on the EE website looks suspiciously like a Photoshopped picture on the Rio Carbon and it would be pretty difficulty to cut 30% off the size of the Rio Karma. Time will, as they wisely say, tell.
