A leak on the temporary web development site for Rio Audio accidentally revealed the names of two new audio players, the flash memory-based ‘Rio Forge,’ and a companion unit to the Rio Karma called the ‘Rio Chroma.’ In addition to the text-only leaks, both the Karma and the Chroma were listed as having a 10,000 song capacity, which leads us to believe that both devices will have a 40GB option.
Before being pulled from the development site, the Karma and Chroma were described as having, “docking station support (RCA on the Karma; digital coax on the Chroma) with line-level out, [and] both are perfect for listening to your digital music on your home stereo. The docking station’s light pulses to your music too!”
We’ll show you pictures as soon as possible. Hopefully the Chroma is more than just a Karma with a color screen or with colored shells (that would be okay, but I want new features, too).

Update: A couple of you have pointed out that the current 20GB Karma advertises 10,000 songs, as well. I still think any newly announced Karma or Chroma will have a 40GB option, however.
