iRiver E100 MP3 player is thin, kind of sexy

Posted in iRiver by Conner Flynn on April 15th, 2008

iRiver E100 MP3 player is thin, kind of sexy
This isn’t your typical run of the mill MP3 player. It’s got stereo speakers, FM radio, a microSD card slot, line-in, and a new D-Click system. Then there’s the large 2.4-inch TFT LCD screen. Did I mention, it weighs just two ounces? This sweet MP3 Player is available in two capacities, a 4GB version and 8GB, both with flash memory. Some color choices are Solid Black, White, Sky Blue, and Pink.

You get a bunch of audio and video formats, Rhapsody, Napster, and Yahoo subscription services, voice recording, text viewer, photo viewer, and more. The battery will give you 5 hours of video playback or 17 hours of music. You wouldn’t expect it to be reasonably priced, but it is, at just $109.99 for the 4GB model or $159.99 for the 8GB version. Nice! You are getting a lot for your money.

Mickey goes gold: iRiver limited edition MP3 player

Posted in Disney, MP3, iRiver by Conner Flynn on January 28th, 2008

Mickey is all about the gold
There’s gold in them there ears! iRiver is set to sell what it is calling the “assassin’s mace”. This amounts to a Mickey Mouse MP3 with gold paint on it ala Goldfinger.(Or more recently Goldmember of Austin Powers fame) Mickey fans will want to hurry as it’s only available in limited editions.

The design houses a Philips PNX0103ET sound processor. The ears will control the volume and track menu and it has an internal memory of 2GB. It’s very cute in a “If Mickey were a pimp” kind of way, as well as being simple and it won’t cost you a fortune, at $123.

iRiver Spinn is a sexy pocket sized PMP

Posted in Portable Meda Players, iRiver by Conner Flynn on January 14th, 2008

The iRiver Spinn is sexy
iRiver’s new PMP looks pretty damn sexy. It’s called the Spinn and has a 3.2″ AMOLED display capable of displaying a 480 x272 resolution which is a widescreen format. Video is displayed at 30 frames per second and it can be used as a photo viewer and MP3 player. iRiver also threw in an FM tuner, DMB for those areas which support it, and text viewer. That’s a nice set of features in this great looking PMP.

As far as connectivity, the Spinn supports Bluetooth and USB. Controlling the device is done with a toggle wheel on the right. Memory sizes are from 4GB up to 16GB. Due out later this year the iRiver Spinn is bound to do very well and get very far on looks alone.

iRiver Clix Cradle

Posted in Dock, Speakers, iRiver by Darrin Olson on July 1st, 2007

iRiver Clix CradleCompanies are more often making it easier now to share you music from personal media players with speaker accessories, which I have to say works much better than having to put your heads together and each take an earbud.

This desire to share the sound grows along with more media players that show video since multiple people can watch and naturally would like to hear what’s going on, too. iRiver has a new accessory for the Clix 2 called the iRiver Clix Cradle, and consists of basically little more than an attachable speaker. The Clix …

Mickey Mouse MP3 Player Info Update

Posted in Disney, MP3, iRiver by Darrin Olson on June 20th, 2007

iRiver Disney Mickey Mouse MP3 playerThat Mickey Mouse MP3 player we talked about earlier this month looks like it’s turning out to be something real as you can see on the iRiver Korea site. Apparently it will go for around $50 and will have a 1GB memory capacity. The ears, as we suspected, do control the volume and track but it doesn’t look like the Mickey shaped device will be coming to too many destinations. Disney had iRiver make it for retail sale in Korea and for the Hong Kong Disney theme park only, at …

iRiver NV

Posted in GPS, Media Players, iRiver by Chris Weber on June 18th, 2007

iRiver NVThe new iRiver NV will be available for the Korean market soon and has just about everything you could want in a PMP. It sports a 7 inch LED display at 840 x 480, T-DMB television, GPS, FM transmitter, 1.3 megapixel camera, 2 SD card slots, a sexy remote control and supports playback of MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF, WMV, MPG, Xvid and H.264 file formats. The device doesn’t look to shabby, either.

The multiple SD card slots could possibly be for both storing media and storing map data separately, and there’s no reason the on-board digital camera …

Disney Mplayer MP3 player from iRiver

Posted in Disney, MP3, iRiver by Darrin Olson on June 9th, 2007

Disney Mplayer MP3 player from iRiverThis small Disney Mplayer MP3 player inspired by Mickey Mouse features the shape of Mickey’s head and ears in a spherical design. The ears look to be actually functional controlling the volume with one and moving ahead or back in tracks with the other, possibly by twisting them.

The features here are pretty simple but the design is sure to catch on. There is no screen interface on this little device and by additional photos it appears to be quite small, maybe just 2-3 inches in diameter. There also doesn’t appear to be …

iRiver Clix2 U20iRiver has a new version of the Clix player available in Korea which will be also coming to the US in the coming months.

The new iRiver U20, which looks like it will end up as the ‘clix2′ similarly to how the iRiver U10 became the ‘clix’ in the US, is slightly faster with more frames per second and is slightly thinner by about a 10th of an inch. The new media player appears very similar to the original version, although it has a much needed increase in capacity. The flash based player has …

iRiver X20 Media PlayeriRiver has a new PMP that will be available in Japan in a few weeks called the iRiver X20, which is another nice product from iRiver, but with no features that really that stand out as exceptional from the rest.
