iRiver Volcano T7 Is MP3 for Chewing Gum Diehards

Available in five colors, the Volcano T7 is the latest DAP player. Reminiscent of a memory stick and with a small OLED display, it's available in both 2GB and 4GB versions. There's also a USB 2.0 port, an FM radio, and an equalizer. There's also a recording function, both for voice and radio. Now available in Europe in five colors—white, black, pink, blue and chocolate—the Volcano T7 costs the equivalent of $48 for the 2GB and $78 for 4GB. [Akihabara News]

iRiver Spinn Analog PMP Gets UK Release Date

The iRiver Spinn, which we saw back at CES, is finally getting a release date. It'll be available in August in the UK in 4, 8 and 16GB models. It'll have Flash support plus a 3D graphics chip to give its UI a little more flashiness, but its analog controls will still be present, as will its 3.2-inch 480x272 screen. No US date yet, but the fact that it was shown at CES makes us believe there's a US release due some time. If not, there's always Fedex. [Crave UK]

iRiver Brings Mickey MP3 Player to the US; May Cause Cancer

The Mickey MP3 player that we've shown you when it was only available in Korea, and again when it was gold-plated, is finally making its way to the US today, with one slight caveat: "This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, or birth defects or other reproductive harm." That's right, the same Mickey Mouse you loved in childhood could be adding extra limbs on your own children. Then again, it's only $70, stores 1GB, and has 9 hours of playback time, so, pick your battles. [product page]

Waterproof MP3 Player is iRiver, Dives to 200 Feet Under the Sea

I wouldn't—well, I would just once, like to see what it's like to dive with The Hives singing along while I fin down to a reef —because I like to live out my Darth Vader fantasies, but this MP3 player could just persuade me otherwise. What is remarkable about this iRiver iFP-380T, with its waterproof case and headset, is that you can go down to 200 feet with it clipped onto your mask. The device runs on one 9-volt battery and one AA and it costs $199. [Frontgate via UberReview]

iRiver's Multimedia Unit2 has Everything We Could Want, Including Apple-esque UI

We know that iRiver has been working on its all-singing, all-dancing multimedia player-dock-thingie the Unit2 for over a year. The Apple-esque interface, its voice over IP internet telephone (yes, a telephone) and the removable 16:9 touchscreen make it look quite amazing. And expensive. We don't know the price yet, though. Seeing the unit and the telephone in action, which unfolds to show a full QWERTY keyboard, makes it even more attractive. More »

As the Chinese New Year is upon us, we would like to take this opportunity to wish all those celebrating it a smashing new year.

iRiver Gold-Plates Mplayer For Chinese New Year

In honor of the year of the rat and Chinese New Year (Feb. 7), iRiver's coating their rat/mouse-shaped Mplayer in gold. This seems like it's real gold, seeing as each one is individually numbered and comes in a limited edition box. However, it's only available in China, which means you're going to have to get your Disney-inspired rat MP3 player imported if you want in on the rat action. [iRiver Fans via the mp3 players]

iriver Ebook Concept Takes Notes, Looks Suave

We did not spot this ebook concept from iriver at CES, but their website is showing it off nonetheless. To say details are light would be true. So, details are light, but what the concept ebook does promise is a color display and the ability to accept handwritten notes. More »

iRiver iAMOLED Hands On

We got our hands on that pretty iRiver iAMOLED Photo Tank, and it's plenty handy. The only problem is, the most appealing aspect of it is its active matrix OLED (AMOLED) screen, and in this mockup, it wasn't working yet. The real thing won't see the light of day until Q3, but until then, we'll just ogle this gallery of the palm-sized player.

Super Cute iriver Wing UMPC Is Also Super Tiny

Scale is everything: We knew iriver's Wing touchscreen UMPC was seriously compact, but didn't know just how small it was. It's still a complete prototype—you're looking at dumb plastic, and the top half even sorta fell off the hinge—but we convinced them to pull it out of the glass case so we could do a quick sizemodo. We just hope it actually comes out at this size.

Hands On iriver Aplayer vs. iPod nano: Thinner, More Gorgeous

After seeing the sexy press shot of iriver's new flash-based Aplayer (which also crams in voice recording and an FM tuner), we totally couldn't resist making the iriver guys pull it out of the case to stack up to a 2nd-gen nano we had on hand. Results? Judge for yourself. More »

iriver Wing UMPC Has Touch Screen, Flash Storage and Super Cuteness

The Goods: The iriver Wing is a cute little UMPC with a touchscreen and 4GB of flash storage. It's got Wi-Fi, obviously, and supposedly is instant-on. No word on the battery life. The Bads: It runs Windows CE Pro for the OS, and the keyboard looks like it could be difficult to pound on.

iRiver IAMOLED Photo Tank Is Not Quite Legend But Holds a Lot of Pics

The Gear: iRiver's IAMOLED Photo Tank is another PMP, but it's HD-based (80 or 160GB) to SPINN's flash, and its 4.1-inch AMOLED display uses even less power than passive matrix OLED displays for longer batt. life. It's photo-oriented, with CF and SD slots, though it also does video voice recording, FM and uses the by-this-post-much-hyped SPINN controls.
The Bleh: No price, and the SPINN (PMP, not the controls) is definitely a sexier beast.

iriver SPINN PMP Uses "Warm Analog Controls" Whatever That Means

What's It: The flash-based SPINN PMP uses iriver's eponymous SPINN UI, which "combines warmth of analog controls" with digital content—apparently this is an analog toggle wheel of some sort. It's stacked PMP-wise, otherwise: 3.2-inch 480x272 screen, FM tuner, flash, Bluetooth, dictionary and 30fps MP4 playback. The shell and UI are also really attractive for a PMP of this flavor, which are usually barely less ugly than glossy roadkill. The Umm...: Are "analog controls" really a feature?

iriver Aplayer MP3 Player Is Credit Card Thin, Model Sexy

The Skinny (literally): iriver's Aplayer is a seriously svelte MP3 Player player that manages to cram an FM tuner and a built-in microphone in its brushed metal shell. No deets on what other formats it supports, but it's available in 2, 4 and 8GB sizes. The Rub No price yet, and it could be pricey.
