iriver's E50 PMP has had a bit of a roundabout launch since it first appeared on the scene back in December, but it looks like it's now finally available in at least a few parts of the world, and the folks at Le Journal du Geek have promptly gotten their hands on one and done the full unboxing and review honors. As was pretty clear from the early shots, this one's a sleek little device and, while it doesn't exactly pack a whole slew of features, it looks to perform all the basic tasks with welcome simplicity. On the downside, the 1.8-inch screen apparently leaves a bit to be desired, especially when playing videos and, while the included earphones are a tad better than the usual fare, the sound quality from the player itself is apparently just average. Hit up the link below for the full blow-by-blow account, including a bonus unboxing / demo video.
crappy
Spot on my good man!
If you want simplicity, then take a look at the new iPoh shufflé
It is so simple is has NO controls on the body... It plays whatever the hell it wants and YOU will like it like the little Apple Bi**h that you are!
Talk about simplicity!
the iPod Shuf-lay?
Compared to what?
The nano? ha
This is so much better than the iPod touch !!touchkiller!!!!
NOT!
You see kids, sometimes evolution does NOT work.
Actually evolution doesn't "work" because it's a hoax.
@Jeremy
Yes. Because god made everything in one week and their was once a big fancy garden but then a stupid woman ate a forbidden fruit. The bibble is totally not a large story book.
In that case Jeremy... god just failed, again.
I don't think anyone will compare this to the Ipod Touch. If anything it will be compared to the Nano or the Shuffle.
Can I correct you? I don't think anyone SMART will compare this to the iPod Touch. Please see the post immediately above yours for reference.
Is that french ?
nice zune knockoff with a crappy sony interface.
I don't think that having the hold switch be on the back of the player would be very comfortable. The rest of the player is excellent, I love that they include a notch for a lanyard right on it. And flac support? Yum.
Does it require headphones to use?
well, it's an audio player, so technically, yes.
That being said, not really.
As an Apple user, I have to say this looks great. I'd really like to get to try this out. I especially like the slim, very simplistic body.
Is that a PMP or did that guy throw up in his hand?

You don't make wise purchase decisions, do you?
Hey dude, clean under those fingernails.
rofl!!!!
So these people that made iriver products stand out in the old days, where do they work now? Anybody know? Seems rather obvious that they moved on, and no I'm not kidding that's really the only explanation.
Talk about thumbnail. :o I'd need a telescope to view that screen.
I swear every time I see a picture of it I always think "Zune."
iRiver has had some great MP3 players in the past. Back in the days they were even better than the Apple players.
