There's a place getting a large number soon. I can't give any more details yet, but if/when I can I'll let everyone know here. It's a US supplier buying the last stock from SB.

Hugo

Any chance of a batch of these making it to the UK? Now they've got usable Wavefinder / Shoutcast streaming support, FLAC and maybe Ogg I'd be really interested in getting a few more.
Thanks
Phil

I have absolutely no idea who will get them yet, and hence have no idea if they'll ship to the UK. Fingers crossed!

Hugo

Lemme know! I would love to have one or two more (just as I should have bought more than one empeg, doh!)

Any new news ?

Not yet, I'll check up again...

Hugo

Thanks

*waves hand

Hugo ?

I heard a rumour, there is an interested party in the UK - any truth ?

It's a US company. I need to contact them by phone before I can release any info, but I think they should have players by now. They're getting several thousand of them.

I tried calling them a couple of times but the guy I needed to speak to was out... I'll try again.

Hugo

Nothing yet ?
[forgive my chomping at the bit :P]

Hugo has been out of the office for the last few days.

I'd love to get my hands on 1 or 2 more!

mee too ctf . me too .. the e-bay jackels must know they are coming .. because they are all dumping them in auctions now .. while they can still get $300 a pop for them.

Err ... any news yet ?
been almost a month since the last utterings about left back stock.

Tiger are listing them again:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?sku=M975-1036

Price is $149. Possibly, this is the last batch surfacing? I'm trying to find out where they went now...

Hugo

Unfortunately they don't seem to ship to Europe...

Thanks Hugo. After much debate with myself of where I could stick another one I figured the garage would be a good place or the four year old might have a use for one here eventually in his bedroom. These things are awesome and I cannot believe they were discontinued.

Another contact point: Metro Business Systems have a quantity of SONICblue branded units (these have the same black casing as the Dell, but are no longer branded as such). They're identical in performance and capability to the Rio units, but just look different.

I've been given a contact for getting hold of these units - Frank Pelli: fpelli@metropc.com

If you want a unit (not sure on the price, I'm guessing around $150, and I'm not sure if they'll ship to Europe, but it's worth a try) then email him with a return phone number and he'll get someone to call back & take the order.

Hugo

I just received the one that I ordered from Tiger Direct and it is the black unit and looks just like the Dell except there is a "sonicblue" sticker on the front top right panel (maybe to cover up where it once said Dell?).

Just a FYI

later

They still have some in stock, I just hought one this morning. Having it shipped to TX.
