iriver S10 now with Bluetooth

Do you like USB bracelets? Would you wear when them on a train? Would you wear then in the rain? No? Try them, try them with the S10 we say, now packing Bluetooth, mkay? See... you like them, you like MP3 bracelets, eh? You like them, so buy one we say.

I think it looks nice. Kind of feminine, but it still looks nice. In fact all of iRiver's lineup at CES 2007 looks nice, especially the new Clix.

Now that's pretty cool. Link didn't load so I'm unsure the price, but cool nonetheless.

[Sam @ Jan 12th 2007 1:50PM]

That would be great for running, although somehow I doubt it will fit on my wrist well. I'm just glad they are starting to make players with built-in bluetooth.

I WANT ONE! I have searched for the past 15 minutes, and looked at dapreview's website and it seems to be down.

Anyone have any idea when this is coming out?

This product appears to be:
1) MP3 Player
2) Watch (customizable LCD screen?)
3) Flash drive (capacity?)

OS X supported?

Any details are much appreciated, I love this product.

Nice, I've been looking for a new watch that isn't "typical" and this one fits the bill! I want, I want, I want! (not if it's over $150 though)

[Matt B @ Jan 12th 2007 2:08PM]

Anyone else see at first glance that it said $10?

C'mon caffeine...kick in already.

[Rex @ Jan 12th 2007 2:11PM]

pretty awesome, i'd buy one but i prefer not to wear bluetooth headphones because i know that i'd lose them. plus i don't really wear anything on my right wrist so it may feel weird to wear the s10 there and i'm not going to use it to replace my watch. how much is it again?

Loads of images at the link above, it's navigation is the "day" chart near the top.
"day 4" shows some hands on video, and brief specs of some of the new products.
I don't see any further info on this specific player at the link I provided though... Only some large images of it.

Anyone ever see that Star Wars made for tv movie with the Ewoks. Was on tv around 1986... Reminds me of the braclets/watches that the family that crash lands on Endor were wearing.

[riggs @ Jan 12th 2007 3:40PM]

that actually really looks good, i would get the black one though, and if its glossy even better!. it doesnt have that tacky nerdy look to it.

[james @ Jan 12th 2007 3:41PM]

YES PLEASE...i would buy right now! The best mp3/4 watch yet! $100?

[Stephan @ Jan 12th 2007 3:47PM]

Why did they have to call it a bracelet, now it is too feminine and I can't wear one DAMN IT! I have been looking for an MP3/Watch and they all suck but this looks sort cool.

This will revolutionize the watch industry!

[Spencer @ Jan 12th 2007 4:20PM]

So "now packing bluetooth" means you can use stereo bt headphones, right? Cause I don't know that' I'd want to use that headphone jack they have on the bottom there.
This looks really cool, I've never been into the idea of the arm-strap media players for athletic activities. Would be great for running if the USB plug/connector is strong enough.

This will make iPods in the pocket look so 1990`s

[joshua conti @ Jan 12th 2007 4:42PM]

will it also broadcast gps locations so mommy and daddy / my internet stalker can see where i am at any given hour in the day?

[PEZ @ Jan 12th 2007 4:43PM]

I pitched that Idea to Apple about 3 years ago and even have the sketches. The reason they turned me down was they were like, I think we will get a lot of complaints of people pumping their arms and having these going flying off and breaking or having people loose them(it was a sports version). My first design 4 years ago was not with bluetooth and they said that is the stupidist idea people are gonn yank the cord out of their ears, so I came up with the bluetooth powered bracelet, which has the battery and blutooth transmitter and then you could clip on a smaller MP3 to that, didn't have the shuffle at that time and then they came out with the lanyard concept.

[SporkRocker @ Jan 13th 2007 12:23AM]

Enough of the i crap. It is getting to be an eyesore. Every electronic is getting an I. I'm not even an apple fan boy (not even close.) Soon we will have ips3 ixbox360 iWii
*Caution* Don't take offense to this. This may iYou away, but I would like an iWii. I say this is iCrap.

If this is a Bluetooth device that goes on your wrist, it had BETTER pair with my phone using HandsFree profile for caller ID.

Imagine:
The shiny Bluetooth iPhone stays safe in my pocket, safe from dropping and scratching.
The Bluetooth headset stays on my ear where it belongs.
The Bluetooth watch / DAP stays on my wrist and shows who is calling and I can answer, decline, mute, and switch lines from the watch.

Caller ID on a headset / earpiece is a logical fallacy. Bluetooth was designed for stuff like this. The Headset, HandsFree, A2DP, and AVRCP profiles were created FOR this kind of interaction between devices. Why haven't manufacturer's allowed us to use Bluetooth the way it was intended?
