The Rio Karma is rather nice, and astonishingly tiny. The one I used (my 
old housemate had one) had some firmware bugs and a really dreadful 
upload/download application, though. No support for access as a USB disk 
or network volume. Plays OGG, FLAC, has a 20GB disk.

I'd put the Karma in the "It could've been so good..." box. What it 
really needs is some new firmware to support usb-disk class driver 
access so you don't have to use the apalling transfer app anymore.
