iRiver's S10 DAP gets dipped in all black

Let's face it, there's just something soothing (or trendy, maybe) about gadgetry heading over to the dark side, and iRiver's shiny little S10 is finally getting its own coat of all black to feel more at home beside the shadowy Clix. Aside from the dimness, everything else looks par for the course, including the same 1.5-inch OLED display, FM tuner, 1GB and 2GB capacities, and the D-Click controlling system found on the black / white version. The murky S10s will be available starting December 23rd, and while the 1GB rendition will run you ¥16,980 ($144), you can double your memory for just ¥3,000 ($26) more.

For consumer electronics?

Black rules, always has.

White was a novelty.
Don't feel bad though. In ten to fifteen years it'll be retro and you'll be willing to pay even more for it so you can "look cool" again.

Sorry, I don't get it. Isn't the S10 in black already shipping across Asia?
