iRiver N12 pendant MP3 player with OLED
If you've already read the headline of this
post, you can pretty much skip the rest. The iRiver N12 pendant MP3 player looks a lot like the N11, with the main change being that the new
version has headphones integrated into the lanyard, N10-style. It also apparently starts at 1GB capacity,
while that's where the N11 maxed out. We assume it will continue to support MP3, WMA and PlaysForSure, like earlier
models in the series. Oh, and it'll be about

Thats a cool MP3 player but heck at 210$ who needs this when u can get a Video iPod for 350$. i'm not an Apple or a mac fanboy but heck i love my iPod like nothing else (unless an Archos 700 PMP). But if u've got tht extra buck looks like a decent one for u. (unless u're a poor guy in poverty unable to pre-order ur PS3 or buy tht extra Xbox 360 for ur other room or pre-order a 110 inch Sony HD with Blu-ray with 1000000:1 ratio???) Just kiddin

Where is the info on the OLED? Type (color, mono)? Size? Life? I can't read Korean, so help me out here...
Wouldn't be surprised if that comprised a large portion of the cost though since the unit price on those is still steep.

the N11/N12 also support Ogg Vorbis, which the N10 doesn't. The price on the N series has always been a bit high compared to other flash players though. it's not really fair to compare the price of a flash player to the price of a hdd player also.

iriver has gone down the crapper

David, I think it's fair enough to compare the prices. Regardless of the technology inside or the price of flash memory, they are competing in the same market.

The Iriver products are usually pretty good stuff , will be nice to see them hit the market. To bad it isn't anything like the U10 prototype from a few months back.

I'm in the market to get a new mp3 player, but don't want to get an ipod. I just need a small, lightweight player that I can take to the gym. I've felt an N11, and it's so light! I live in Korea and will go to Seoul this weekend to get a new mp3 player. I'll check to see if it's available yet and report back.

The iriver n12 now has 2GB capacity which is 1/2 the capacity of the ipod nano 4GB. Think about the size!!
