iRiver's new 1GB MP3 player







iRiver's new 1GB MP3 player

iRiver's new 1GB MP3 player 12/05/2003 02:12 AM

New 1GB MP3 player from iRiver that uses Flash memory rather than a hard drive for storage. The iFP-599T also has a built-in FM tuner and recorder, digital voice recorder, armband strap (for using it during exercise), and a battery life of up to 28 hours. The advantage, of course, of having a player with Flash memory rather than a hard drive is that there are no moving parts that can be damaged when you're jogging or working out. You'll have to pay for that privilege, however, as the iFP-99T retails for $450, or almost as much as a 40GB iPod. Read [Thanks, Chris]...

< img src="http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/pez_mp3.gif" alt="pez_mp3.gif image" width="188" height="200" class="right"/>My buddy and I were just talking tonight about sticking electronics inside of a Pez dispensers. Coincidentally, I came across this link for a PEZ dispenser turned MP3/WMA/OGG player. In fact, the creator managed to strike up a deal with Pez Inc. and will market this as an actual product. Now all that's left to do is figure out how to make it dispense candy and music.

JNC SSF-M5: Yet Another 1.5GB MP3 Player 06/29/2004 08:49 AM

jnc_m5.jpg imageToday, I make an iron-clad prediction: by this time next year, you'll be able to get 1.5GB MP3 players at Wal-Mart (or your local indigenous people exploiter of choice) for $50, or free when you sign up for a new Sears card. I mean, these things are just crawling out of the woodwork, like this JNC SSF-M5, which as DAPreview notes, has a sharp resemblance to the recently announced Teac MP-1000. Don't get me wrong, though; I think cheap, disposable 1.5GB players are fantastic. That's about as small as I'd want to go in a player, since I tend to sort of eyeball these by 'album quantity,' and 15-25 is an ample number.

When is Fisher-Price going to get in the game? Disney Electronics, do you still hate me? Because if not, I'd like to see a sub-$100 model pre-loaded with a bunch of your movie soundtracks.

Reserve your Pez MP3 player now


Reserve your Pez MP3 player now 04/03/2005 01:24 PM
Cory Doctorow: Patrick, a stay-at-home dad and inventor, has been chasing his dream of building an MP3 player into a Pez dispenser with a swappable head for years now. He's on the verge of it, and even has a deal with Pez to produce the players under license.

Now with his players about to ship, he's looking to get a sense of how many orders he'll likely get, so he's soliciting non-binding "reservations" for dispensers. I imagine this'll help him raise capital and sort out his order size.

I know I want one of these -- I've wanted one since the first time he mentioned them -- so I've reserved one. If you plan on getting one, you should fill in the form, too. Link (via Make Blog)

h320_34.jpg imageSorobanGeeks got their hands on one of the new iRiver H320s, the 20GB hard disk MP3 player with a color screen, USB Host capability, radio, and microphone. It looks excellent, and besides some complaints about the quality of plastic used for the casing, performs as advertised. The USB Host functionality means the H300 series devices can serve as portable hard drives for digital cameras, and I suspect that feature combined with the color screen will make these players a big hit for photographers. They do say the remote is sort of useless since it doesn't have an LCD, but I tend to disagree. Like the iPod's remote, I find that simple remotes are more than useful enough for their main purpose, which is to skip a track or two and to pause your music without pulling out the new device. On the upside, if you need an LCD remote, the units from the iHP120 (an older iRiver player) will work with the HP300 series just fine.

The issue is one of firmware, and a lack of updates for the H Series (specifically the iHP-100) line of hard disk players. In April, iRiver promised firmware fixes for the players, like on-the-fly file deletion and playlists, as well as a fixed shuffle mode and gapless playback. But then in May, the firmware was delayed< /a>, and since the original June release date for a second firmware release has come and gone, some users are getting very upset.

iriverT20_250.jpgI use my Shuffle regularly, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't cheat on it with other flash players. The iRiver T20 is kind of like that cool young thing at the office, all flash and excitement. You just want to pop out its sensuous USB port again and again while the poor, morose Shuffle sits around the house waiting to yell at you when you walk through the door. "I have a lanyard," it screams to you as you hit the fridge for a beer. "I have a lanyard!"

The T20 includes an LCD screen (!!!), line-in MP3 recording, and plays Ogg files. Priced at $99 for 512MB and $139 [UPDATE - It's Pounds, baby, Pounds, not Dollars. I don't know. Multiply by two, essentially, to get dollars.] for the 1GB model, I'm thinking that if you're considering a flash player, you may want to consider one of these instead of that plain-Jane Shuffle.

Although the review is a little heavy on pictures and a little light on opinion, they seem fairly impressed with the device. It does look nice enough (from a feature perspective, at least; its case is ugly as sin), and I've got fairly high hopes for this one. DRM-free means, if nothing else, greater ease of use as a rule of thumb.

They also had a short sit down with the Vice President of iRiver's parent company, who seems to have a real hard on for Microsoft in the upcoming portable player wars, because the "PMC OS will work in total harmony with the future operating systems of Microsoft." I suppose that's true in a sense, but I still think that until someone can provide plug-and-play functionality, be it Big M or someone else, none of these players are going to be widely adopted. They're just too big of a pain to use.

You guys know how I feel about flash memory players -- I like them, smaller is better, but I just hate paying so much for so little storage -- but on up side the prices for the N10 are at least somewhat more reasonable than some players in the past -- a 1GB version should sell for around $440. If that's still too painful just wait. The hardware to decode MP3s is a fraction of the cost and the price of flash memory should continue to fall for a while.

And you know what's making me come around on these flash players? Cool designs like pendants. That's what they should have been doing in the first place. If I'm going to get reamed for a 1GB, it should at least look cooler/more interesting than an hard disk player.

DAPreview found some new hi-resolution shots of the upcoming iRiver PMC-100, the Microsoft-based Portable Media Center that is the cousin to the non-Microsoft PMP-120/140. It looks considerably different than the original, more slab-like mockup we'd shown you, but it does look a lot more practical to use. It also looks like it is probably just a remolded bit of plastic that fits over the same hardware that powers the PMP-1xx series players.

I still like the old design better, but I also know which one I'd rather hold in my hands for two hours at a time.

iRiver IFP-790T - 2 Thumbs down!


iRiver IFP-790T - 2 Thumbs down! 12/24/2004 12:46 PM

I am using the iRiver IFP-790T as a backup recording device when recording the Geek News Central Podcast. Of the 18 shows produced we lost 1 due to a PC crash and I vowed that would never happen again. So as I record the show on the PC the iRiver MP3 player which doubles as a voice recorder is my failsafe mechanism.

Today on the Daily Source Code with Adam Curry he mentioned he owns nearly the same device, and drew some of the same conclusions I did. The thing sucks. It's a great recorder but you have to use iRiver's proprietary interface that has DRM management to get files on and off it. Windows does not recognize it as a external drive and it records in some proprietary format.

I really wonder who these companies have on staff testing their products, don't they have a clue on how the real world works. I guess that is why the Apple iPod is as popular. Someone just needs to figure out how to record at a high bit rate on the iPod. [iRiver]< /p>

iriver_u10.jpgiRiver is showing off new products, including this U10, with a very interesting "touchscreen" interface. I put the "touchscreen" in "quotes" because the D-Click system is not a traditional one like a PDA, but instead a screen over some buttons, which can be clicked by pressing down. So really, it's less advanced than an actual touchscreen, but I still like the idea, even with the inevitable finger grease.

I'm not looking forward to the capacity, though, as the U10 is listed to be available in sizes only up to 1GB. That's a shame mostly because the U10 will also support MPEG4 and Flate Lite, as well as audio files. It's pretty, though, but that might just be my love of test patterns shining through.

iriver_onsale_pmp.jpg imageiRiver's PMP-100 series portable media players have gone on sale today via the iRiver e-store, with other online retailers to follow later in the week. Two models are available for now: the PMP-120, with a 20GB hard drive; and the PMP-140, with an eight-million amazing awesomes drive (or 40GB, if you want to get all technical). Prices are $500 and $600, respectively (ouch!).

For the record, if portable video is in your sights, these are the units from iRiver you probably want. Instead of being tied to Windows Media Center (that's the PMC-100 series), they'll pretty much play whatever you decide to throw at them without a pesky transcoding. Of course, now that I've written this, I still don't see them available for purchase on the e-store, no matter what iRiver's press release might say.

Update: So MobileMag informs me that iRiver informed them that the PMPs are quite literally stuck on a slow boat from China. Maybe you should have held back on the press release then, huh?

iRiver has two new music players coming up, both of which sport nice looking color LCD displays. The silver iFP-900 has a 1.2-inch LCD (the two units in the pictures probably definitely aren't to scale), 40 hour play time with a rechargeable battery, real time MP3 encoding from line-in, integrated...

irivern10.jpg imageKorean MP3 fabricator iRiver has announced a new flash-memory-based pendant-style player with a 16-shade OLED display. Dubbed the N10 (INTENZ!), the unit will be offered in 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB options. Apparently, the N10 already sells in Europe for around $360 (yeah, no way, right?). Flash players are extremely neat in function and size, but pricing like that is just painful.

iRiver H300 Series Player Pricing


iRiver H300 Series Player Pricing 05/28/2004 11:00 AM

iriverh300_jump.jpg imageDPReview has a little more information about iRiver's upcoming H300 series players, with much of the same information we reported previously, but this time with a price: ¥47,800 (~$430) for the H320 20 GB version and ¥59,800 (~$540) for the H340 40GB version. That's more expensive than the iPod, even, but you get a color screen, 16 hour battery life, and a device that meets the USB On The Go specification (USB Host, basically) so that you can connect almost any USB device to the unit and transfer files back and forth without a computer. (Thanks, Junki!)

It also comes with a rechargeable and replaceable Lithium-Ion battery. The PMP-100 measures 5.47 x 3.31 x 1.25 inches (139 x 85 x 31.7 mm) and weighs 9.88 ounces (280 g).

iRiver H300 Series Officially Announced


iRiver H300 Series Officially Announced 09/22/2004 04:24 PM

H320-top-angle.jpg imageWe mentioned the new iRiver H300 series launch a little bit earlier today (just a link), but we thought we'd give them a big US welcome with this healthy, near life-sized image. With the launch of these new 20GB and 40GB players with color screens, 16 hour battery life, and the ability to played both free and restricted WMA music (and OGG Vorbis, nerds!), plus all the usual iRiver tricks, like a built-in FM receiver and real-time MP3 encoding, well... things are finally starting to look up in the hard disk player market, and we're glad to see it.

The H300 players should be available for purchase both on iRiver's site and retail in early October for $329 (20GB) or $429 (40GB).

Press release after the jump.
