iRiver U10 Portable Media Player
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 10:00 AM
"iRiver this week is showing off a few of their new portable entertainment devices at a launch event in Korea. One device in particular, however, caught our attention, the iRiver U10. MisticRiver reports (via I4U) that the U10 features a touch sensitive interface called D-Click, but unlike PDAs, for example, the U10's touch controls are located in four places – seemingly invisible – on the display screen's frame border. Moreover, the little dynamo supports a variety of media formats, but is hobbled (IMHO) by its 2.2 inch TFT display (the same display size found on the back of many popular digital cameras). No word on pricing or availability, so stay tuned."
I have to say, this is a pretty slick looking design from iRiver. I especially like the cradle. Granted the screen is small, but I still think it is usable, it is about the size of the screen on the Casio portable TV I have for hurricane season.
