Re: OT - Rio Karma

[<groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the first video type player now classed as the AMM120(?)
With a very small screen for watching / recording films.

Battery life was / is good, playback is good - the thing has a universal
port on the bottom for pluging such as: video camera, compact flash reader
(why I bought it), video recorder, FM radio etc etc.

They seem to be good devices that work.
