"Rio Riot. It's bigger than the IPod."

<VBG>

3.625 by 5.375 by 1.375 and10 oz = RIOT

2.430 by 4.020 by 0.780 inches and 6.5 ounces = IPOD

The RIOT is 50% wider, 25% taller, 100% thicker, and 60% heavier. But has 300% more storage.

So i wouldn't say the RIOT is a little bigger, i'd say it's signigicantly bigger and heavier. When i first saw the ipod i thought it was just another overpriced piece of apple candyware, until i realised just how compact and portable it was compared to the competition. The ipod is actually smaller than those tiny tape walkmans that people get in japan.

The riot is a huge improvement on the other large capacity "portables" like the nomad and the volt. But in terms of portability the ipod is still the leading high capcity portable
