I like my Rio 600 a lot.  I use mine when I'm working out...it's 
certainly better than a portable cassette player.  It comes with a 
spandex holder with a belt clip that makes it considerably thicker, but 
you can place it in such a way as to be unintrusive.

Mine is 64M, but it seems like they have one that's 128M.  Given 
hindsight I wish I'd gone that route.  You can purchase memory expansion 
units for them that have rechargeable batteries built in, but they're 
pretty pricey.  Check out Rio's web site for details.

I guarantee you wouldn't want to use rioutil to load up the Riot.  It 
would take a whole weekend.  If you want one of those, best to just use 
the windows tools Rio ships (if you have a M$ PC).

If you get a 600 or 800, ditch the earphones immediately and get some of 
those over-the-ear-around-the-back-of-the-head headphones or traditional 
buds.  Rio's earphones hurt like the dickens after half an hour.

That's about all I can think of to tell you.  I like mine.
