iriver P7 unboxing and review

We’ve been getting friendly with iriver’s latest touchscreen masterpiece over the past few days, and have a few impressions to share. In many ways, though, the P7 is exactly what the pictures and spec sheet make it out to be: great design, great specs, few surprises, and little in the way of “interesting” functionality. While the Apples and Microsofts of the world keep on merging the world of PMPs with PDAs with phones, iriver seems content here to build a “mere” media player and leave it at that. Read our full impressions after the break.

iriver, Speedo suit up for new Aquabeat underwater MP3 player

Another Spring, another opportunity for iriver Japan and Speedo to sell a few MP3 players designed for underwater use. Yes friends, the Aquabeat you’ve grown to know, love and disassociate with overly tight swim trunks has a successor, the Speedo LZR Racer. Design wise, you won’t notice a lot of differentiation from the first, but this waterproof-to-three-meters device has twice the internal memory (2GB) and a built-in rechargeable battery good for around eight hours of continuous playback. It’s said to be shipping now in Japan for ¥12,800 ($128), though we hear it won’t be coming to America without first nailing down a Michael Phelps endorsement. Not that said task will be too tough or anything.

iriver’s D50N MID gets its own site, closer to our hearts

iriver came clean with its D50N e-dictionary / MID back at CES, but it’s taken until now for the company to host up a proper teaser site with all the details (in Korean, naturally). The beautiful handheld boasts a 4.8-inch 800 x 480 resolution display, 16GB of internal storage space, 802.11b/g WiFi, support for a whole litany of files, a microSD expansion slot, full QWERTY keyboard and a battery good for up to 16 hours of music playback (or 8 hours of video). Reportedly, the price on this one is pegged at around $370, but we’re no closer to finding out when it’ll ship to the states.

iriver P35 interface caught on video, where it titillates and amuses

Kids of all ages holding tight for an exhaustive look at the new iriver P35 GUI need wait no longer. Caught on video, the interface recalls that of the P7, and seems quite responsive. Widgets are accessed through a scrolling task bar, and — we’re sorry to tell you this — that Big Bang Theory show seems to be just as unfunny on the 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen as it is on our family TV set. That said, we’re really looking forward to putting one of these bad boys through its paces. It’s still unavailable in the US and Europe, but for lucky folks in Korea they’re available in one of three versions: 8GB (DMB digital TV), 16GB (DMB digital TV), or 16GB (both DMB and WiFi). Prices start at $286. But that ain’t all — be sure to check out the video for yourself after the break. Music by our Weather Report cover band, Mr. Gone.

iriver P7 does the unboxing thing

Mar 16th 2009 Portable Audio No Comments

We thoroughly enjoyed our CES hands-on time with iriver’s slick P7 PMP, but it looks like the touchscreen player is starting to make it out to the wild — check out these unboxing photos. We’re not sure why iriver’s chosen “like a magazine” as the tagline here, but we’re pretty anxious to get one of our own to try and figure it out.

iriver’s Dicple D35 and D31 remind us of just how much we’ll never understand

Mar 15th 2009 Portable Audio No Comments

For a company that pretty much just makes PMPs, iriver manages to pull off an incredible quantity of surprising product moves and design choices. Its new Dicple D35 and D31, for instance, square off any of the sexiness and sleekitude of previous iterations, like 2007’s D5. The devices seem to be getting inexplicably thicker, the screen bezel has become more prominent, and iriver just doesn’t seem to care. However, the software has certainly come a long way from those electronic dictionary days, with widgets, advanced multimedia features (like DMB and radio recording), handwriting recognition and PIM functions — all of which we have little idea as to the functionality, since the spec list is in Korean, and we don’t imagine iriver plans on shipping this sort of stuff to the States any time soon. Still, we can dream.

[Thanks, Alex]

iriver Japan looking to brand its own e-reader?

Mar 3rd 2009 Handhelds No Comments

It’s a touch early to truly understand what’s going on here, but it looks as if iriver Japan (read: not the same iriver Korea you’re used to) is hoping to make a splash in the burgeoning e-reader market by popping out a device of its own. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be much innovation going on, as we’re pretty certain this is simply a rebadged version of the Netronix reader we spotted about this time last year. Word has it that the unit will handle PDFs and feature a simple joystick control scheme, an SD card slot and compatibility with music files. We’ll be keeping a close eye out for any developments, but our gut tells us this thing won’t make it far outside of Japan’s walls, anyway.
