The Rio Forge 128MB digital audio sports player is the solution for those wanting flexibility, durability and style in one package. The compact device sports 128 megs of flash memory, which ensures there are no moving parts in the system.
This lack of moving parts makes certain the player can go where you go, made rugged so you can go anywhere you want while running or hitting the trail.
This beauty with its sleek, red casing is designed to handle abuse. With enclaved buttons on the front and protective plastic buttons on the side, you can exercise in confidence, knowing that your music will be able to survive through the rough outdoors.
However, when you are using your unit, you should make the effort to protect it from water. While it is designed to handle some moisture, purposefully submerging it may result in its ruin.
Unlike many digital music players available on the market, this Rio Forge player has stop watch capabilities which make it useful for all runners and other athletes. At the press of a button, you can keep time, stopping it whenever you see fit. As the device takes the same shape as many other high end sports timers, it is comfortable for runners to use, even in the middle of a stretch or while on a cross country track.
As a single battery gives you the ability to listen to your music for many hours continuously, you do not have to worry about changing your battery during a run. With a fresh battery, you will be able to do an endurance run throughout most of a day without needed to change it.
The Rio Forge is compatible with computers that have USB 1.1 or USB 2.0 support. Acting as an external hard drive, you can take your songs to any computer with ease.
