It’s not an iPod, in design or price. It’s the Rio Cali with 256 megabytes of memory – enough to hold about four hours of songs. And you can expand its storage with an SD memory card if you want.

The Cali is light, portable and rugged, with a rubber circle protecting a decent-sized back-lit screen. I’ve dropped it off a a speeding bike and it survived. It runs for over 15 hours on one AAA battery, and includes an FM tuner so you can listen to the radio.
