We did report that iRiver is planning to release their new S7 series. A few hours later, the iRiver S7 will be official unveiled! The S7 is generally a screenless S10. Well, let see some brief techinal specs!
- Supports MP3, WMA, ASF, OGG (Q10)
- 15mW＋15mW Outputs
- Supports SRS WOW 2.0
- D-click systems
- 42 × 30 × 9.6mm
- 15g
- 9 hours of battery life
Without the lcd display, the new S7 is now even smaller. Suggested retail price for iRiver S7 1G is 89,000 Won (approx US$96). With no doubt, it will be an iPod Shuffle 2 killer. But, I think Reigncom should revise their price before iRiver S7 can be a true killer!

The Japanese harddisk maker, Toshiba, has announced that the company will start to ship its new 1.8″ harddisk from 5th January 2007. The new harddisk is MK1011GAH with 100GB of capacity. Let us make a wild guess on the 6th generation iPod. Will the next iPod have 100GB of HDD, touch screen and wireless network connectivity?

iFixit recently published a complete guide on how to disassemble the world smallest MP3 player - iPod Shuffle 2
. All you need are just a spudger and a Philips screwdriver #00.
Well, let skip all the dissassembling process. What I want to know is what the heck inside this tiny thing!
On the top of its circuit logic board, you can see five button sensors, ARM chip and data cable ribbon. No idea about the ARM chip, but it has the number: 337S3300 844A N05WDK01 0642 ARM
The bottom of the board has a Li-ion polymer battery and headphone jack plug, which is most impressive part of iPod Shuffle 2. The plug is multi-modal and switches between USB, analog audio, and possibly power modes.
