EverythingUSB has posted a review on the SonicBlue Rio 800 128MB player

The 2.4 ounces player is capable of playing MP3/WMA formats and AAC in the future. With 128MB built-in flash memory, the company claims you can fit 4 hours of digital music encoded at 64kbps via WMA.

With Rio 800’s collapsible earphones, we didn’t notice any substantial improvement on sound quality when playing files with 160kps or higher bit-rate. During our tests, playback lasted for 6 to 8 hours before a 2-hour recharge is required.
