ZOMG APPLE FAKEAGE.

Looks more LG-esque to me. The clock typeface and some of the graphics (4-link bottom bar etc) seem near identical to my Viewty, and from what i remember of the Prada (before iphone, remember folks) not far off that either.]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/
I was just stating a fact. Not asserting that one copied from the other. My breadth of cell phone interface knowledge is apparently not as expansive as yours. My sincerest apologies......]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/iriver-set-to-launch-w10-clix2-and-b20-at-ces/]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/

This is the PMP called the iriver W7. It looks identical to the phone pictured above except for the GUI.]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/I can trump your link with one that's 11 months older: http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/04/iriver-set-to-launch-w10-clix2-and-b20-at-ces/

Originally, iRiver announced the wi-fi-capable W10 at CES last year but never quite got round to releasing it.
It would seem that, since then, they decided to make the W10 a full-blown phone (a la the iPhone) and released a stripped-down version (sans phone features or wi-fi) as the W7 in the mean time.]]>Feb 12th 2008 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 5:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Why cant people understand that the iphone is not special because of its hardware or its looks, they are special because of the really nice software that caters to the average consumer (i.e not technophiles that want to SSH and FTP off their phones)...
btw I dont have an iphone (but i have a 30gb 5G Ipod Video). I actually have a treo650 that works just fine as an organizer (for the basics) and as a bludgeoning device ...so spare me the Apple fan or steve jobs jokes. I am just stating the obvious from a consumer stand point of view]]>Feb 12th 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 13th 2008 2:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 13th 2008 9:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 6:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/Feb 12th 2008 6:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/
Seriously, that thing is a brick. My Zune has a better form factor for being a cellphone.]]>Feb 12th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/12/hands-on-with-irivers-3--inch-touchscreen-phone/I think that the modern smartphone has reached a plateau, they each lag in some ways but basically what a consumer can do with each is the same. We're waiting for next generation features, built in projectors, constant high speed internet (and host - host internet, no more one offs), with portable data and software (just kidding). But who will solve problems like input? A full size keyboard is best, today. In the 90s there was a commodity service that was a one button press to a voice general operator, is that the only answer to the keyboard?
