and since comparisons between apples and oranges, err... apples and irivers will be inevitable, i will just start with it:
the toucscreen device does look quite nice, and i like the idea that you can use it with buttons or a stylus, but as it seems from the video its not really a can use, but rather a have to use, judging from the size of the "buttons" on the display. the guy had to try really hard with the tip of the finger to use that thing.
there should be a switch to cange between stylus mode (many small buttons, good for complicated operations) and a finger mode (few big buttons, for the basic functions)

I've taken it apart numerous times, dropped it down the stairs, broken the play button, dropped it in the bath, and it's still kicking. I have to turn it on via the remote now, but that's a small detail, lol.

Unfortunately, iRiver never got round to updating it to compete with any of the new iPods that are flooding the world... so I've kept using it till iRiver get their game together, or till I get one of the Zune Originals.]]>Nov 30th 2007 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/Nov 30th 2007 8:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/Nov 30th 2007 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/30/irivers-w7-wifi-media-player-and-d27-dictionary-loose-in-the-wi/http://www.pocketables.net/2007/04/imagining_the_i.html

It has more features, but it's hard to be won over by them when they've just been crammed into (what looks like) the D26.
