Though Sony may have been looking forward to having their latest PMP, the NWZ-A820, compared to the iPod or th Zune, someone in Korea had a different idea in mind. The iRiver E100 is the lowest spec’d player to have come out of iRiver’s remarkable showing at CES 2008. I know everyone is looking forward to the launch dates of the LPlayer and SPINN, but what we have already available is the E100, a 2.4-inch A/V player with FM tuner and cheap MSRP. The Sony A820 is the same-sized player and even weighs exactly the same number of grams (59) as the E100, but has Bluetooth and storage that tops 16GB. So how these two similar players match up, and which one will you be tempted the most?
The chart and a poll after the break.
