"iriver presented a load of new players at CES this year and now another one of these has become official and available now in Korea. The iriver P.ple P10 is another technological marvel that may or may not ever see light outside of Asia. The device has a 4" 800x480 touch screen, 33GB 1.3" HDD, flash lite support, internal speaker and TV out. It supports pretty much any video format you can throw at it including Xvid at up to 720x480 (DVD resolution) so the player should do wonders for watching videos. On the music front it does mp3, wma, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis, Wav and APE so it should be well covered there too. There's also a pro version that features a DMB tuner, but that will definitely not make it to the US or Europe so all we can do is hope that the standard version will."
iriver officially wins the 2008 Digital Home Thoughts Award for Goofiest Named Media Player! But don't let that goofy name distract you from the SERIOUS specs that accompany this little device. I really like the fact that it supports just about every audio and video format out there. Would you choose the P.ple P10 over an iPod Touch?
