iRiver W10: What is This Thing?
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 02:00 PM
"Ok, now we're just getting a little confused with iRiver. We know they've been experimenting lately with form factors and devices like some sort of crazed college student, but the hell are they doing making a palmtop device? Apparently the W10, which they were showing at CeBIT (not sure how we missed it), will have something like a 5-inch screen, 60GB drive, WiBro, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, T-DMB tuner, USB On-The-Go, and support for MP3, WMA, AAC, MPEG-4 / h.264, WMV9, and DivX. We're a little confused and curious ourselves, but willing to give it a try. What the hell."
Is it me, or does this thing look like it's made out of butter, and inspired by those late '90s Brother-brand mobile word processors that never got popular because they were just ugly DOS terminals with wee little screens? Yeah, it must be me. But I still like the idea of this thing.
