iriver P35 WiFi PMP announced for browser loving P.ple

After a bit of a tease, the folks at reigncom have taken the wraps off their new P35 personal media player. Having mastered good product design long ago, iriver is now intent on bringing its interface and user experience up to snuff. After all, anyone can make a rectangular, touchscreen media box these days. The P35 features the SPINN navigator we've seen before, an accelerometer for automatic portrait and landscape orientation, and ships in a 8GB basic model or a 16GB version with options for DMB television (with mini remote control) and/or 802.11b/g WiFi. The 128.3 x 79.7 x 17.8-mm white slab comes packing a 4.3-inch LCD with 480 x 272 pixel display and rich audio and video codec support that iriver players are synonymous with. It also sports a full browser (WiFi version only), support for UCI widgets (with open API), and even an "FTP server" if we're translating the Korean announcement correctly. And the new batch of seemingly finger-friendly UI shots are just as tantalizing in their simplicity as they were in the tease. Unfortunately, we'll have to reserve judgment on the all important "experience" until we get one of these pups in-hand. On sale now in South Korea.

[Thanks, KR]

Hopefully they made the interface a little more snappy because it doesn't look bad otherwise.

Gotta ask... expandable memory? If not, then it's useless to me.

There is a slot for SD cards. You can go iRiver's korean website. It's not entirely in korean and has plenty of pictures.

*yawn. Is it going to be released outside Korea?

480x272 is just so small for web browsing. WHVGA at a minimum, but ideally this would be WVGA.

oh noos, this was close to good!

I agree the resolution is pretty weak now days, however it looks like a nice product for a great price. just the kind of thing that will never come to the US :(

I hope it's as good as it's being touted as.

If only we get it in Australia, we're still waiting for the SPINN.

Does this come with an SD/MicroSD card slot? It doesn't say.

wow. finally a pmp to challenge the itouch. whats taking them so long to catch up? kinda late now....
after v3.0 revealed, i might finally get an itouch afterall.

seems pretty good
has a expandable micro sd/sdhc slot upto 16gb
flash browsing (doesn't itouch not have this yet?)
tv out, usb host
i'd say it's much better than an itouch
wonder if i should order it?...
