Looks very boring.
i think this thing looks pretty cool. its got a HUGE screen. i would really like to see what kind of storage it has. could even be a competitor to the touch....
I'm interested to see if they can 1-up the iPod Touch by including a removable battery.
Looks awesome! I wish that it had 32GBs of storage, and an SDHC slot. Why would they go with microSDHC? That limits capacity to half of SDHCs, which is 32GBs right now. Though, maybe in the future, it will support microSDXC. That would be awesome. :P
Will someone make a PMP like a itouch but with a 80GB HD. I want at least 64GB but that is going to be a while. This is a HUGE gap Apple is leaving open for some one to eat their cake.
Make that 120+ and I'd buy my first iPod in years
Like the Archos?

Or the Cowon Q5. Pretty much a mini computer though.
That's exactly what i'm looking for! I want a PMP dedicated for video, but I don't stand for anything less than 4.3in (PSP screen size)
It rocks!
Seems a bit sluggish, and squarish, but the people are still dazzled by the color white (I know, it isn't a color) it seems.
I agree the loading times seem very slow
Yea it looks cool, nice screen etc, but the (flash?) interface seems slow, especially that picture scrolling. I'd kill myself if it was that slow to interact with a lot of photos. Wonder what kind of codecs it supports.
Any reason why compaines are putting 4.3 inch screens with only 480x272 resolution? Is 800x480 that much more expensive?
On to the player, Wonder what it does that will differentiate from the cowon o2?
Is it cheaper? bigger hd? more hd support? ie MKV h.264?
No Wi-Fi, choppy UI, doesn't seem to fit in your pocket, and sure as hell cant call anywhere...I think iriver is starting to lose it - I mean, radio isn't as exciting as it was in 1936.
Haha, I like the 1936 radio remark, hits it right on the nose.
I noticed that that's what they use as a feature for the very cheapest of cheap cellphones of $12 too, 'with radio!'
iriver... my old friend.. you disappoint me again
Why are none of Engadget's videos working for me? Is it just me? I've been trying to watch all these CES videos but all of them are stuck on "loading video information." I can't imagine there's huge demand for these videos at 10am Sunday either...
This looks OK but why on earth not put a WiFi chip in it? It would add at most $20 to their unit production costs and make it a much better gadget.
What is to be excited about this? It looks bulky and the interface is really slugish. People really seem desperate to find an underdog to praise.
Very pretty & cool but no wi-fi & prolly no browser makes me a sad panda...
No wifi? Forget it.
