RCA has an interesting looking MP3 player out. DAPreview suggests that it “shaped like a bong” but I would say it looks more like “digital bowl” if you will. This player is geared towards the athletic sports crowd. This “splash proof” sports MP3 player comes with a stop watch, calorie counter, pulse rate monitor, and arm band. In addition it has an FM tuner and the ability to record FM radio. 512mb of memory, voice recorder, line in, Audible support, PlaysForSure, 50 hours battery time, Dual orientation LCD screen. It has a pretty impressive lineup of features.
What I found really interesting is if you look closely at the bottom of the player there is a slot that says “Memory Stick Duo”. Could this be an additional slot for more memory? Is this the perfect companion to your new Sony PSP? Nothing in the product description mentions this. We will have to wait and see. It is not out yet but you can get inline at Amazon and pick one up for under a hundred twenty bucks.

Does anyone happen to know if this player is PlaysforSure *Subscription* , rather than just download?

Yes, it works with subscription services. I use it with Rhapsody and it works just fine.

This player is absolutely unreliable. Mine broke after 2 months. I’ve read many similar tales on the internet. Their service department has had it for 2 months. They cant fix it and keep making excuses not to send me a new one. Buy at your own risk.
