You could always import them from the US and do a 220v conversion, though you will not get any warranty with them then.

This is the distributor for the whole of the EU.
AFAIK though, in the UK it is only available via authorised resellers.

Mine is too.  Rio _should_ support WMA, but when I tried it (with JRec= eiver)
it just produced whistles and chirps.
Have sold it now.

The AT is great in this respect because it can all be done via the front panel - even SWMBO has gotten to grips with it.
The Rio's screen and menu system IME was awful.
The SLiMP3 needs the remote (a generic sony one, not one specific to the device) or PC control.
Neither of these sit well with SWMBO/guests, whereas the AT does.
