Pocketables has published the first comprehensive review of iRiver’s simple PMP. The E100 is not the thinnest mini-PMP out there but, as we have remarked before, this little device got style. There are a few disappointments like the supposed D-Click control, so it’s even far behind other iRiver models announced at CES that will [...]

China makes no bones about cloning just about every good hardware design in the market and the sleek dual-face design of the Samsung F300 and F500 multimedia phones has had to wait a little too long, we think a little undeservedly, for the ultimate flattery. Finally here comes the Shuang Mian Yi Ren V8, [...]

You can do no wrong building up on a remarkable player like iRiver’s Clix 2. The B20 with DAB doesn’t fall far from the tree. Instead, iRiver added a DAB tuner on all the Clix 2 features and made a great PMP even better. The B20 uses iRiver’s proprietary D-Click UI and increases screen real [...]
