iriver's Lplayer released, gas mask required

It's no secret that iriver's designs make us dissolve into deep lavender puddles of drool. Now this, the Lplayer dolled-up with some kind of ridiculously clever speaker stand attachment for watching your video desktop style. The 2-inch, QVGA device supports a full suite of codecs including MPEG-4 video and FLAC, OGG, MP3, and WMA audio. Available in up to 8GB capacities topping out in Korea for about $150.

[Erfan @ May 29th 2008 7:12AM]

I hope you're not serious about which Korea they mean, or are you??

[gad get @ May 29th 2008 7:14AM]

North.

(sp?)

[gad get @ May 29th 2008 7:11AM]

"(sp?)"?

[Robin @ May 29th 2008 7:38AM]

So ... you can either hear what is playing or see what is on screen? Nice.

[ReggieXuk @ May 29th 2008 9:55AM]

You can do both, it looks like it goes on the back.

[poulan @ May 29th 2008 7:12AM]

2" screen. will anyone with any sense watch video on this?

[renmimby @ May 29th 2008 7:55AM]

Maybe it'll come with a magnifying glass

[ZoomitUP @ May 29th 2008 9:16AM]

That little plastic gas mask should connect directly to a frenzel lens to create the 150" big screen display... all you need are some cardboard boxes, duct tape and a room with zero ambient light.

Great. A 150", 240p display.

[KC @ May 29th 2008 1:47PM]

the 2" screen will make you feel like you're in a theater when you put it up to your nose and use it as a gas mask

[gad get @ May 29th 2008 7:14AM]

Dude, those earbuds look very uncomfortable! :p

[intel352 @ May 29th 2008 10:34AM]

agreed, they look as big as the screen itself :-)

[DiscoCat5 @ May 29th 2008 7:52AM]

i really do like irivers designs, but in all seriosuness, and im sure im not alone here, when will they release something that can / will better the ipod touch? (feel free to tell me if they already have, not 110% up to date with thier product range)

[nicleT @ May 29th 2008 9:06AM]

What's that thing on the back? A salt box?

[Rick @ May 29th 2008 5:39PM]

I thought it was a shower head mp3 player attachment. For video, I think you have problems when the ear buds are half the size of the screen. (or maybe it's your ears that will have problems)

[Richard Lai @ May 29th 2008 9:57AM]

For a moment I thought you're meant to stick the actual MP3 player into your ear!

[UncoolJohn @ May 29th 2008 10:29AM]

Are you my mommy?

[JLTate @ May 29th 2008 12:12PM]

Damn! Beat me to it.

[Richard Lai @ May 29th 2008 1:39PM]

My exact same thought. I was really annoyed when I found out that Doctor Who wasn't on last Saturday.

[silverblackvoid @ May 29th 2008 11:47AM]

great design. now when i carry this player in my pants, i'll also have a uber cool hard on.

[Wwhat @ May 29th 2008 1:19PM]

It's a clip-on speaker, you carry it in the backpack every idiots has to annoy others, I mean to be 'happening'.

[Karma_prisoner @ Jul 26th 2008 12:35PM]

Guy!
The thing in the back is a DOCK! and the white thing is the loud speaker, the player's photo here is with the dock in transparent plastic.

you can remove the dock and use it like a normal PMP and keep it in your pocket or attach the dock and use it for viewing videos on the table (dock with in built stand)
so please stop getting weird ideas!

[gad get @ May 29th 2008 5:45PM]

What would be the fun of that?
