"the ipod mini- but better"

What I like:

its better than the ipod mini in every single way with extra features (sept for playlists)

What I don't like:

no matter what i say here you wont buy one, becuase there isnt a ipod logo on the back

Review:

This is all you need an basically my summary says why. People who are looking for an mp3 player in this sort of price/size range, there is absaloutely no reason to get the ipod over the rio unless 1) you want the scroll wheel or 2) you desperately need playlists 3) you need to be like everyone else.
To conclude its superior battery length (normally over 20 hours) and battery life no theres no www.ipodsdirtysecret.com for this player, looks, size. And most importantly before i forget the most important thing plug-and-play, which for all you ipod users means i dont need itunes change the songs from wma, and have to install it on every computer i go to meaining it can be used as a portable hard drive. And ohh yea, you'll be saving a whole load of money. Please get this spectacular player.
