It seems that iRiver doesn’t plan to announce new product at this year at CeBIT in Hannover, Germany. The company only presents its cute thumthing and T-series MP3 players in the booth. No E10, M20 and N12 as we wish.
However, Engadget has managed to get a hands on with a mock up of iRiver V10. The new media player will feature T-DMB receiver, 3-inch 480 x 272 display, USB 2.0, , integrated stereo speakers and support for MP3, WMA, OGG, H.264, WMV9, and DivX. It is probably to have a maximum capacity of 8GB flash memory.

PCMag has just reviewed Apple’s new iPod Hi-Fi and given a high mark on it! The editor of PCMag rated it 4.5 out of 5 stars and awarded Editor Choice to it.
Does all these worth for $350? I would minus 1 star for its high price!

Pros
Excellent sound quality. Can run on alkaline batteries or AC power. Optical and analog audio inputs.
Cons
Menu button on remote doesn’t activate the iPod’s menu system. No video pass-through. Not available in all black.
Bottomline
It’s no surprise that the new champ among iPod speakers/docks comes from none other than Apple. It’s versatile and loud enough for almost any listening needs, though it lacks video output.

We have waited so long for Cowon iAudio 6 since it was first introduced at CES 2006 last January! There is still no news about its arrival
However, the lucky Korean guy has tested it and even dissected it! The editor of mpnavi is showing the tiny Toshiba’s 0.85″ MK4001MTD harddrive.


I guess I gotta migrate to South Korea! It is so difficult to locateCowon’s stuffs in my country

We did mention about the JWD GM300 couple days ago. Not just playing audio, it also allows you to insert a SIM card into it and perform some basic functionalities of a mobile phone. However, just don’t compare it with Sony Ericsson’s Walkman Phone.

Here are some closeup pictures of the interface of GM300.
