Rio Forge Sport (256 MB) MP3 Player
 
   

Product Description

 
The Rio Forge series is our latest generation of flash based sport players. The Forge was designed for people that like to play hard and use music to play even harder. The new design integrates the grippy, protective rubber from previous models with a new shiny stainless steel face plate for added durability. Up to 20 hours of battery life allow you hours of non-stop work out time. Comfortable Sport Clip earphones and a newly designed case with armband keep your player and music secure and accessible. Simple menus and intuitive controls make for easy one-handed operation. Stopwatch and Lap Timer make the Forge the ultimate gym or running companion.

Quality MP3 with all the features you need, and none you don't

Date of Review:  Oct 5, 2007

Review: I've had my Forge 256 for over 2 years now and I still enjoy it. I am avid Mac user and am furious of the absence of the FM tuner to the iPod line and have refused to buy one until it's standard. This product is durable and nicely designed. Its...

Resist the impulse..

Date of Review:  Oct 16, 2006
