IRiver Unveils Flashy MP3 Players..

[IGBT]

Text

The U10 marks a design step from other IRiver players in that it's entirely operated via a touch screen display. It has a 2.2-inch QVGA (320 pixel by 240 pixel) landscape-oriented screen that takes up the majority of the front of the player. Menu choices are positioned towards the corners of the main display so they are within reach of the user's thumbs while they are holding the player. It plays MP3, Windows Media Audio, ASF, and Ogg Vorbis format audio files and MPEG4 video files.

Other features include an FM radio, voice recording, and photo album. Two versions will be available: a 512MB version will cost $283 and a 1GB version will cost $335. A launch schedule has yet to be disclosed for the player.

I love my iFP-799:

1GB of mp3s in super-compact design that's perfect for business trips, and can also record from FM tuner or mic.

So, these are basically turning into Pocket PCs with big-ass memory?

The U10 looks way too big imo...looks more like a clock than an mp3 player.

What, no FLAC support?

Looks nice, but I can't understand the people that only want 1Gb of storage. Don't you have a lot of music, or don't you have the want to take it with you?
