Iriver's mystery device
In case you haven't noticed by now, we're just a bit smitten by iriver designs 'round here. Can you blame us? Still, we're not sure what to make of the device photographed above and presumably on display at the SEK2007 exhibition in Korea. Problem is, the forum jockey over at iriverfans.com failed to provide any descriptive text. A geeky lapel ribbon worn to commemorate the fight for Bluetooth audio? We don't know. No worries, more than likely we'll track down the truth before the days is up. Until then, get to it readers... what do you think it is?

















MP3 Bong.
It was bound to happen.
It's an iDildo, double ended for her violation.
It's to strangle iPod owners with.
It looks like a white, digital turd. Or it could be a bong that plays music, that would be awesome.
...an iron
I went to the SEK 2007 Exhibition this afternoon and saw that at iriver booth. It's suppose to be a 'concept MP3 Player'. I can't say much about it cause there were tons of people there. There was another concept mp3 player right beside that, but i guess someone needs to post the pic.
Flexible grip training device with an mp3 player?
Snake holder. The end pops off and you insert your pet snake. Ideal for the snake handler on the go. Make sure your snake arrives wrinkle free and unsquashed with the the new iRiver snake tube.
For some reason, I imagine Samuel L. Jackson doing the voiceover on that commercial.
"I am sick and tired of these motherf*ckin' snakes on this motherf*ckin' plane! Get me my iRiver snake tube!"
It's a toilet roll holder!
what ever it is, it looks like a 2001 Space Odyssey hairdryer
It's a double sided dildo combined with Ann Summers' iGasm device with of hint of the Zune philosiphy of sharing your music with others.... to a whole new level.
Reminds me of the Panasonic Toot-a-Loop radio from the early '70s.
"It's an Ess, it's an Oh, it's a crazy radio... It's Toot-a-Loop!"
*sarcasm* I don't care what it is.
Come on Engadget, give me a feed without iRiver news! I'll whine and complain on every iRiver post until I get my way! *end sarcasm*
comment of the day ward goes to... ;)
make your own! http://pipes.yahoo.com
That thing is so ugly, it almost made me cry :(
My bet. A product that will be marketed to cyclists. I think it is a handle bar mp3 player. Has only one button for your thumb so you can change music on the fly without looking down to see which button you're pressing.
Wow, I would have never thought of that. Clever idea actually!
That doesnt sound very safe! Sounds like a car vs bike accident waiting to happen.
From the angle shown it almost looks like a ribbon. Paint that thing pink, and start talking breast cancer, and you'll sell a million on the damned things.
God I hope that thing has tactile feedback
;)
JK LOL
It's an MP3 player for a zimmer frame. Now Gran can get funky with all the hip kids... (fades to Sinatra)...
I think you would put it on a bike handle bar so you can listen to music while you ride?
I'm guessing it's an MP3 player for Anatomy teachers and professors so they can get away with having tunes between classes, and they can hide it cleverly between the shoulder bones on the skeleton near the front of the room.
I think it goes in a bike handle to listen to music while your riding your bike? or maybe a two way dildo
It's an colonoscopy tool with included MP3 player.
**Warning: users must have not eaten any solid food within past 12hrs**
Yes, but it also has bluetooth video and audio
It's a portable tabletop (nightstand) MP3 player.
It looks to me as though it might be something that you can slip through a belt loop, onto a t-shirt collar, or onto a purse strap...perhaps it is marketed towards women, since most of us don't wear belt clip accessories, and or have pockets to put mp3 players in. If so, that would be a good idea.
Am I the only one who thought "Jiffy Lube" when they first saw this?
is iRiver doing MP3 pretzels? :-P
If only iRiver would put their efforts together and make one great mp3 player, rather than a million mediocre to half decent players, maybe I could replace my busted H120.
A dog turd?
i think:
it is a bluetooth mp3 player. Stick it in your frontroom, it can stream music to your bluetooth headphones... maybe even also From your pc too ... like a relay.
@Scott Schuster
Holy million-dollar-idea! Dude, if that's not what it is, you need to patent that idea before some a-hole around here patents it first. Holy crap, dude. That idea could make you rich!
Serious, man, get to it.
You need two of them.

It's the Buttmaster 3000!
its a bluetooth headset thats uhm bendable! fits any size ear! :D
Do u all realize what ur doing? Your are like a free foucus group. I would venture to be we see iRiver test some of the ideas listed on this very page in the next few months. Y'all are doing for free what iRiver pays people to do. I'm not patronizing, rather encouraging. Keep up the ingenius brainstorming.
a bluetooth headset for people with larde deep ears/elephants. Either that or an MP3 player designed by kids who had too many crazy straws and then the iRiver designers added white gloss like the iPod to reafirm it a s an MP3 player.
Stick one end in the mouth and the other up your nose, CO2 and Saliva powered
Adjustable mp3 player I guess...you can see a progress bar at the bottom of the lcd. I am not sure what the hinge does besides adjust the screen orientation. I tried to photoshop it but the res is too low. but yeah...blue tooth mp3 player w/hinge.

it looks like it could be a clip on mp3 player, with a headphone jack at one of the ends. IS any1 following me?
actually it would need a headphone jack , you could use stereo bluetooth, sweeeett.
it's an ipod shuffle competitor...the bend can allow it to clip to clothing, plus it has a screen...
I don't care what it is, what I wanna know is... Will it blend?? :)
it's a doorknob opener...
you press that button and you make some really grand entrance with crazy music and stuff...
