new DAP from RCA for 2004

RCA will expand its portable digital audio lineup in 2004. The new products are nothing revolutionary -- the company almost has to release them in order to remain competitive -- but are impressive nonetheless. Two new hard drive players will be available early this year. The RD2850 (20G B) and RD2854 (40GB) will both use 1.8-inch drives. RCA smartly added FM radio and FM recording to these players. Both also use USB 2.0.

The mini HD market has really gone bananas over the last few months. RCA had such a player, but this year we will see a much improved model. The RD2762 will have a 2GB drive, FM radio and recording, and a USB 2.0 interface. The design is a nice improvement over last year's model, which was a chubby little bastard. In the following pictures you can see black and silver models.
