Reigncom reveals iriver NV mini: part PMP, part navigator, totally adorable

Look, we're pretty calloused when it comes to gadgets around here, but there's just no denying that Reigncom's (parent company to iriver) latest gizmo warmed our hearts at first sight. The freshly-revealed iriver NV mini is essentially a pared down version of the NV Life that hit in March and includes a 3.5-inch touchscreen (320 x 240 resolution), 4GB of internal capacity, a built-in battery good for 2.5-hours, Gini mapping software, a flash card slot for adding up to 8GB of storage and fairly robust multimedia player to boot. Expect it to bring smiles to many South Koreans very soon for ?188,000 ($133).

It doesn't look very portable. In fact it looks like a regular GPS that you stick on your dash and forget about, not a PMP.

Looks good to me... now translate it into english and ship it to the states so I can get one. I can watch movies and play media while I wait for deliveries, and use the GPS for addresses I don't know!!!

I don't live in many Koreas.
