"Well looky what we stumbled upon at the iRiver booth today: their new v10 media player, which features a T-DMB receiver, a 3-inch 480 x 272 display, USB 2.0, either 4 or 6GB NAND flash, integrated stereo speakers and support for MP3, WMA, OGG, H.264, WMV9, and DivX. Unfortunately it's only a non-working prototype at the moment, but you can expect to see these hit the streets this summer in Asia and then launched at IFA in Berlin this September for the rest of world, likely sans DMB and that big telescoping antenna. Hands ons with the, uh, mockup after the break."



Well, if that isn't one slick looking player! I've been recently tempted to pick up a PSP for its awesome screen for watching videos, but this looks to be a much better solution for me. Its got a paltry amount of NAND memory for something that plays videos (compared to HD-based players), but that should mean I can watch multiple movies in a row without totally draining the battery. I'm interested in seeing what the final specs look like. The best part of the article is the comment at the bottom by gnome: "The 1980's called... They want their antenna back." :lol: So what do you think? Something you're intersted in?
