IRiver IGP 100 1.5GB :D

[Goosemaster]

Yet another MP3 player-maker joins the 1.5GB market.


Looks Nice


BEST PART:

Integrated FM tuner

 

[ApacheXMD]

i don't understand the obsession with an FM tuner in an MP3 player. Isn't the whole point of carrying around your whole mp3 collection to not have to listen to the same old garbage on the radio? Unless you absolutely have to have your NPR...

i like my npr. its a feature that doesn't take much space and lets u play something other then ur mp3s when you feel like it. npr rocks! its not as if ur spending chump change on these things

 

[atom]

I won't consider a MP3 player if it doesn't have a radio. I like listening to NPR, but more importantly I have access to local broadcasting like news and traffic. Also sports games.

 

[0roo0roo]

yea, npr can't do without it right now they've had al sharpton talking for the hour at the common welath club, they have others like cheney and gore too.. and on the same station terry gross interviewed triumph the insult comic dog

[ApacheXMD]

haha, i like npr too. Ok, guess it's somewhat justified then.

but all the good local news/weather/traffic is on AM radio though..

national public radio, i think... no idea what am/fm it is though.

MSRP $249.00 Kind of steep IMO

 

[ApacheXMD]

AM = Amplitude Modulation
FM= Frequency Modulation

Yes NPR is National Public Radio

$250 for only 1.5 GB? Does it do tricks? Maybe open the garage door for you at least?

That's retail though.

 

[konichiwa]

Yeah but you can get a 10-20gig for around that much...

 

[isekii]

i'm happy with the nitrus.
who listens to the radio on their mp3 player ?

 

[fs5]

expensive retail price.
I wouldn't mind an AM tuner built into my ipod to listen to sports.

 

[fyleow]

It is a flash based player not a HDD that's why it costs so much.

 

[iamme]

i wish they'd release an MP3 player with an AM tuner.

Actually, it's a hard drive.
