Greetings!

The marketing folks confirmed the error and have corrected the published dimensions for the Karma.

It looks like they missed the "Compare Rio Players" page. Hopefully it will get fixed soon.

I cannot find a link on the site to this. How did you find it? It could be that it someone forgot to remove this.

Thanks,

Ah, I see it now. I've forwarded the mistake to those at Rio. I'm sure this will be fixed soon.

Thanks,

Real shady. I know mistakes happen and I'm pretty sure none of our Cambridge friends were involved in the mistake... I also understand the case specs changed at some point with respect to 20GB and 40GB models... But it just really sucks, and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of anyone who was looking for an excuse to say the iPod is better (i.e. the iPod-loving press.) Speaking of which, has anyone seen any favorable Karma reviews yet? I just saw the one rather uninformed review that went with the prevailing "iPod is king" party line.
