iriver's W10 PMP detailed further, runs Windows CE

iriver's delightful W10 is looking better all the time, as just a fortnight after being showcased on the firm's teaser site, it's now drawing attention to the iriver Europe portal with a rundown of specifications. Arriving in your choice of black or white, this sleek PMP will of course boast 8GB of internal storage space, an integrated WiFi adapter, WiFi positioning system, three-inch WQVGA widescreen display, built-in FM tuner, miniSD expansion slot, and an integrated speaker to boot. The most noticeable bit, however, is that this device will rely on Windows CE beneath the shell to keep things rockin', and even iriver admits that you'll likely see firmware updates down the road to account for future applications and formats. Still no word on price nor availability, but the "coming this year" tagline means launch day is (sort of) in sight.

WinCE with wifi??? That's crazy talk.

That settles it, no iRiver W10 for me.

this cant be more then 200 right? i hope not.

[JasonK @ Jul 5th 2007 5:17PM]

Hardly. The 4GB Clix2 is 200 (and the 8GB Clix2 will probably be 250). So this thing will easily cost you 300, if not more.

Whilst it's nice to see you reporting on devices that aren't made by Apple, it's a shame that you don't seem to put a whole lot more effort into the reporting.

When the W10 was unveiled at CES (January, if I'm not mistaken), it was running Windows CE.
When the teaser site showed it off the other week, it was still running Windows CE.

Really, come on, how can you call this 'news'?

If iriver gave this player some more storage I would buy it with a salivating mouth immediately upon launch. I still have one of their H120s, still a ridiculously solid and useful mp3 player. Based on their record this can only be even better. I might buy it regardless of size.

Here's hoping there are some serious leaps in drives sizes very soon.

I can't wait for this one... I have just given my Cowon D2 to my son who bugged me about it from the day it arrived. This will be a nice replacement.

Why VOIP.. All we want from people like iriver and Cowon are decent PMP's.

[Smacksmackums @ Jul 5th 2007 8:10PM]

Didn't this thing used to boast some sort of VOIP functionality?
What happened with that?

WiFi positioning system??

Yeah, that product page with all the specs has been around for about three weeks. Can't remember where I saw it first, but these guys covered it before the teaser site was even up.

Supposed to be available stateside this month, but I doubt it. Where's the 8gb clix2 first?
