iriver teases again -- is this the W7 with WiFi and 8GB?

When iriver teases, our gadget reflexes go all pointy. Mind you, we know absolutely nothing about it except for what you see in that picture. However, there's plenty of speculation on the iriverfans site suggesting that we're looking at the packaging surrounding a new flash player. In fact, South Korea's FCC-equivalent, the MIC, just certified a new W7 iriver player today. W, as in WiFi, with either 4GB or 8GB in tow. Please iriver, just a bit more info before we commit to our gift giving guide?

Dont they already have like 12 flash players? They need to bring back a hard drive player. Theirs were always top notch.

[Justin @ Nov 21st 2007 10:31AM]

Indeed, or at the very least a high-capacity player of *some* sort. Flash if it has to be, even if it would probably be expensive as hell.

And yeah, I didn't catch this post until it was edited, but...wow! Haha.

I don't think I like the picture you're painting with those first 2 sentences in the post...

Thomas might have had a divorced, lonely and very naught uncle.

[Eugene @ Nov 21st 2007 10:46AM]

...And he's so ashamed of it that he had to edit the post. I guess someone told him that other guys didn't have "that nice man from our youth". ;-) LOL

After the whiskey-fueled, end-of-shift angst subsided I felt the need to edit. Sorry 'bout that gang.

"we get excited" or "eager in anticipation" or "with baited breath". With all these banal but appropriate cliches at your disposal why oh why did you have to go with the entirely too graphic "pointy" and "fully erect"

[Bob @ Nov 21st 2007 8:44AM]

iriver does to you ?????? erect ??????? tease???? Geeeeeez

[blade417 @ Nov 21st 2007 8:56AM]

That just looks like something that I will not buy.

[Esat @ Nov 21st 2007 8:58AM]

"When iriver tickles us like that nice man from our youth, our gadget reflexes get all pointy. As such, we're fully erect for iriver's latest tease."

That's the quote of the day! lmao.

Making light of child abuse is never funny!

[Esat @ Nov 21st 2007 3:05PM]

I agree. Thats why I never laugh at the old man in family guy.

[medel @ Nov 21st 2007 2:36PM]

So the green squares make a W, and there are 7 blue squares.. what about the pink, though?

[BernieB @ Nov 21st 2007 3:38PM]

Until they release the W10 I refuse to get excited over their vaporware

I've never seen anything that doesn't even resemble a portable player since the Sony ones, when the screen is actually embedded in the player.
