Business Editors/High-Tech Writers
LONGMONT, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 2, 2003
Cornice Technology Helps Digital Music Players Achieve Compact Size
And Higher Storage Capacity For Competitive Price
Cornice Inc., an innovator in compact, high-capacity storage, today announced that two new Rio(R) portable digital audio players, the Rio Nitrus Urban and the Rio Eigen Executive, will feature the 1.5-gigabyte Cornice Storage Element (SE), enabling them to store up to 600 songs within a competitively priced ultra-compact MP3 player.
Rio, a Digital Networks North America company, expects to ship the Rio Nitrus Urban to retailers in August 2003 with a suggested retail price of $299.99 and the Rio Eigen Executive to retailers in September 2003 with a suggested retail price of $329.99.
Both Rio models will be ultra-compact and offer users the ability to carry up to 40 hours of music on a slim player that weighs less than two ounces. The players will support MP3 and WMA formats and be compatible with pressplay and Windows Media Audio 9. The players will use USB 2.0 for fast music transfers, come with Rio Music Manager 2.0 for easy digital music organization, and include a 15-hour rechargeable battery.
