I would disagree. On a 4" device (iPaq 4700) the difference between VGA and half VGA quality is apparent. I have a Spinn with a 3.3" screen and 480 x 272 OLED screen. The video quality is good, but not great.

Does this much more expensive bigger screened device not deserve a very sharp screen? It would be competing against the Archos 5, which is less expensive for a bigger screen and more capabilities including very good Internet browing, and has 800 x 480 resolution (though not OLED) screen.

Who would pay 450$ for this? ]]>Feb 10th 2009 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/
iriver's products are always way too pricey. You can still find a 4gb clix2 for twice the price of other players in its league. I bought a 4gb clix2 for $200 when I could have got an ipod or a creative for much less. The same goes with Spinn and any other products to come from iriver. But they are quality products. And you are right when you say, who will will pay $450 for this. People would prefer an archos or itouch over this. I wonder what iriver's strategy is when it comes to competing in the market.]]>Feb 10th 2009 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/
Don't get me wrong I won't be buying it or any other iriver product (my phone plays mp3s just fine thanks) but it's a great-looking player.

It's screen is nice and big and an OLED touchscreen . . but past that they could have put a 120GB HDD in there just as easily, shrunk the area around the screen . . I assume they could have made it slimmer looking at other HDD based PMPs that have basically the same specs. So why 450? no more than 300 I'd say.]]>Feb 10th 2009 4:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 5:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 10th 2009 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/

It has the memory of roughly two-and-a-half iPod touches, and about 5 Spinns]]>Feb 11th 2009 5:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 11th 2009 3:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/ No,thanks.]]>Feb 11th 2009 6:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 11th 2009 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/http://www.engadget.com/2009/02/10/iriver-p20-pmp-priced-and-dated-in-japan/Feb 11th 2009 12:55PM
