iRiver is rolling out the N20 Mariah Carey edition which will come preloaded with 17 tracks from her latest album called Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. We have no idea how the N20 will be controlled and if it uses the usual 3.5mm headphone jack.

Some say it’s controlled by a touch interface, some say there are buttons on the back. Maybe the controls are on a touchscreen that looks like a scantily clad Mariah, so geeks can feel her up and play tunes. We just don’t know.

The news was already leaked, but if you are one of those folks who needs to hear it straight from the source, you’ll be happy to know that iRiver has announced that their E200 is in fact real.

We don’t have a price or release date, but we can tell you that it features a 2.8-inch screen and will come in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB versions. The device also supports FM radio, FLAC, RMVB and Xvid and sports an SD slot for more memory.

The iRiver M7 aka the NV Classic will feature updates to the original NV. This 181 x 120 x 21.5 device features SiRF GRF3i+ GPS, an SDHC slot for maps, a pair of 1.5-watt speakers for turn-by-turn audio, and a big 7-inch 800×480 touchscreen TFT LCD to show you the way.

Some other features include DMB digital television, support for MPEG1, MPEG4, WMV9, and XVID video, MP3, WMA, OGG, and WAV audio, JPEG and BMP images, and a bundled 4GB SDHC card for storage.

Interestingly, a P35 teaser has shown up on iRiver’s website. Until now many were thinking that because the player had an integrated digital TV tuner that is not supported by any U.S broadcaster, that the device would not make it to US shores.

But as we pointed out months ago, there are several versions of the P35. There’s one with digital TV, there’s a WIFI version and a “basic” version with no WIFI. We’re looking forward to learning more about this one. Color us interested.

iRiver Japan has announced the T5, a pen drive sized MP3 player that takes quite a pretty picture. The DAP comes with a monochrome display, FM tuner and a microphone.

You can get it in 2GB and 4GB flavors and it supports MP3 and WMA playback. The device measures just 78×25×14mm and weighs only 26.3 grams. The 4GB model sells in Japan for $65.

It’s that time of year again. iRiver has teamed up with Speedo to introduce the LZR Racer Aquabeat, an underwater MP3 player. The DAP can handle 3 meter depths and up to 30 minutes of underwater swimming.

The Aquabeat features 2 GB of internal memory and supports playback of MP3 and WMA files. There’s no display, but it has the basic controls like play,stop, change track and volume control. The Aquabeat is available in Japan only for about $145.

The iRiver P35 was introduced in the US during CES 2009, but now iRiver has decided to launch the device in Korea. The player features USB 2.0 OTG, a 4.3 inch LCD (WQVGA), and is compatible with most of big multimedia formats including Xvid, WMV9, MPEG2/4, and H.264.

You can get the iRiver P35 in three models including the P35 Basic with no WiFi/DMB and only 8GB of internal memory, the P35 DMB with a DMB TV Tuner, no WiFi and 16GB of internal memory, and the P35 WiFi that features both a DMB TV Tuner, WiFi and 16GB of internal memory.

Iriver has made a name for itself with its range of portable media players, and now they have themselves a few new releases in the Dicple D35 and D31. Both models have a, shall we say, unusual design…

They seem to have become thicker than Doctor Phil on a twinkie binge, with a more prominent screen bezel. They feature DMB support, FM radio recording, handwriting recognition, touchscreen display and PIM functions to keep you organized. Right now it looks like Iriver will be keeping the D35 and D31 in Korea only, where they like thick devices.

You may have noticed that e-book readers are starting to catch on. If this is news to you, you probably don’t own a Kindle. And since reading e-books is all the rage, we should see more manufacturers jump on board in due time.

iriver Japan (not iRiver from Korea) hopes to join in on the reindeer games by releasing their own e-book reader. Their offering looks more ike a rebadged version of the Netronix reader which was released last year. Apparently the iriver Japan device will be capable of handling PDF documents, have a simple joystick control interface, an SD memory card slot and audio file playback.

Today iRiver is showing off the WAVE-HOME, which is dubbed an “all-in-one solution”, the WAVE-HOME features a 7 inch screen, built-in speakers and comes with a handset that acts as a VOIP phone and a remote control. It also has a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam.

They basically want the device to handle all of your needs. Some features include: VOIP, web surfing, video chat, SMS/MMS, taking photos, displaying photos, videos, playing music files, FM radio, widgets (weather, news, traffic, etc.) iRiver sees the WAVE-HOME as a “do everything” multimedia and communications center. They want it front and center, with you using it for something.

iRiver just rolled out the iRiver E50 MP3 player measuring only 7 mm thick, with a nice brushed metal texture in front. It supports most of popular audio formats and FM radio. Each purchase of the iRiver E50 comes with a pair of earbuds and it’s available in 2, 4 or 8GB storage sizes. The player also offers a 1.8 inch display, voice recorder, and 52 hours of battery life.

Look, we’re no stranger to the iRiver Mickey Mouse MP3 player. Kids and women seem to love it, despite the fact that it freaks us the hell out.

Well, iRiver has updated the Mickey on crack cute little player by changing its facial expressions to match the function you’re using. Say, adjusting the volume, skipping a track, shuffling through tracks etc. This just makes it all the creepier. No doubt it will hypnotize children and train them to form some sort of crap-gadget army of the living dead.

Taking some of us completely by surprise, Reigncom has released its Wave wifi phone into the wilds of the Korean market. It’s an iPod Touch type device. It’s basically a portable media player with some extra capabilities, like voice over IP (VOIP), supports music/video playback, photo/text viewer, electronic dictionary function and more. Not a ton of other details, but at least it’s been outted.

According to Reigncom’s President, iriver will be releasing a cell phone early next year. The new iriver phone will be available from Korean carrier KT. The iriver phone concept had been previously spotted by many at CES 2008, but at the time iriver claimed the phone was just a concept. Well, seems like it’s for real now. We don’t have full specs yet, but we know the phone features a large touchscreen, Wi-Fi, and embedded access to Bugs Music Service, as well as handwriting recognition and multiple dictionaries on board. Should be available on March 9th.

River has updated their already bizarre Mickey Mouse MP3 players with something new. This version has hypnotizing eyes and may need a good exorcism. Glowing LED demon eyes no doubt make it easier to take over the world. It also has 2GB of storage for your soul, even MP3 or WMA files. If your kid’s head turns all the way around and he/she can’t stop watching Disney movies, don’t complain to us.
