10. Rio Chiba: Out Of The Ordinary

The Rio Chiba belongs in the flash memory player category, but it is unlike most. Being used to tiny USB key products, the shape of the Chiba is surprising to say the least. Its weight is not unusual (50 grams), but it is big: 75x65x23mm. It's all relative of course, and some folk may prefer to have a handful to hold. Its snail-like shape is fun, but the hard black plastic cover makes it look a bit cheap. The battery compartment lid which slots in badly confirms this impression.
