The seemingly Asia-only upcoming release of the iRiver E30 has caught us by surprise. We haven’t heard of another iRiver model coming so soon. But here it is and it looks like a very simple but elegant player. It’s bound to be really cheap, too, what with the limited video support–MJPEG– and low 2GB memory capacity. It plays MP3, WMA, WAV, APE, FLAC though, which makes it even more regretful for us that the iRiver E30 only comes with two gigs. The best feature, no doubt, is the 52 hours of music playback. The iRiver E30 has a 1.8-inch screen and measures 89.9 × 42.0 × 9.0mm. No pricing has been announced.
