CeBIT 2005: iRiver shows off H10 Junior
Posted by James Fee in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Yes, it's very, very tiny. The most-commonly addressed design issue would have to be the stamp-sized screen, but in fact it's all pretty high-res in there. Actually, the Junior does about everything its older brothers are supposed to be capable of (hence the exact same lay-out of the screen). A few differences can be tracked down, though. First of all, the claimed battery life on the Junior is about near-ridiculous levels - some 60 hours, according to the iRiver Europe rep. Eh... 60? As in "sixty"? Our guess would have to be that this will probably translate into something like 20 hours with the backlight constantly switched on - still a very good deal, of course. Unfortunately, H10's removable battery has been replaced by a static one for the Junior edition - that was to be expected."
Price is unknown at this point, but expect it to hover somewhere near the Creative Zen Mini and the iPod mini.
