If there’s one thing that’s been missing from my life it’s a DAP shaped like a slick bar of soap. I’ve been weeping for the day when I can have an hilarious mix-up in the shower, accidentally electrocuting my underarms by lathering up with a flash-memory based mp3 and video player. Well, friends and buggers, my search is over – Jenn at Pocketables has dried my tears and thrust the iRiver Clix 2 underneath my sniffling nose, and a damned fine soap-replacement it is.
I should probably say more about this Gear Live video of the iRiver S10, but I seem to be unable to say much other than “murble murble oh the pretty” Since as sentences go that’s really rather poor, I’ll leave you in the capable hands of Sparky:
Seriously, iRiver, send me one of these things now! And while I’ve got your attention, make it one of these awesome watch concepts, please!
I can’t get enough of iRiver’s delectably small S10 DAP – with its intuitive controls and sleekly minimalist design it makes me tingle in my soft places. Scott Clark over at Everything USB seems to feel the same, first waxing lyrical about the S10’s form and then over the D-Click UI, reserving some praise for the 1.8-inch OLED screen (”blazingly bright and filled with colour”) while criticising the included software and sub-8hr battery life.
All in all they make a very good case for the S10; it’s just a shame that it’s still not officially sold in the US. Check out a couple of size-comparison shots after the cut, including one comparing the S10 to Scott himself.
The lovely Jenn over at Pocketables has stumped up the import costs for one of iRiver’s tiny little S10 mp3 players, and is teasing us all with one of the most comprehensive reviews I’ve seen on her site so far. It might be small but it’s got plenty of features and, according to Jenn’s ears, remarkable sound quality.
At $130 (plus around $30 international shipping) for the 1gb model it’s neither the biggest capacity nor the cheapest DAP, but her conclusion is that the style, straightforward interface and extra features make it worth the outlay. I think I’ll go and have a look at who is importing it to the UK…
I’m a generally well-behaved man with a decent pop-up blocker. I don’t click on naughty adverts and I keep my laptop spam and dialler-free. But we’re all animals underneath the civilised exterior, and I’m just as susceptible as the next gadget hound to filthy, sordid photos of the latest cute tech cavorting and frotting. Forgive me, Lord!
MPnavi are sinful temptresses, and it’s thanks to them that we have this gallery of amorous PMPs showing off the slender iPod Nano and its chubby midget friend the iRiver S10. Please wash your hands after you’re finished viewing this post, and keep it in a locked cabinet out of the reach of children.
iRiver introduced a new player, the iRiver S10. The Korean DAP maker keep challenging Apple time and time again as they answer Apple’s new iPod releases yesterday. The S10 sports 1.5” OLED screen, SRS WOW, and weight only 17.5 grams with 42×40x10.8 dimension. S10 supports almost all Audio format including MP3, WMA, ASF, and OGG.
