iriver's M7 NV Classic navigates the road and your media

Mmm mm m, iriver, you sure know a thing or two about industrial design. Meet the M7 or NV Classic if you prefer, an update to the original iRiver NV only without the massive jogwheel wart. As a navigator, this 181 x 120 x 21.5 device features SiRF GRF3i+ GPS, an SDHC slot for maps, a pair of 1.5-watt speakers for turn-by-turn audio, and a biggie 7-inch 800x480 touchscreen TFT LCD to show you the way. As a media device we're looking at DMB digital television, support for MPEG1, MPEG4, WMV9, and XVID video, MP3, WMA, OGG, and WAV audio, JPEG and BMP images, and a bundled 4GB SDHC card for storage. Priced for Korea at KRW329,000 which would be right around $248 if it ever came to the US, which it won't, at least not in this configuration.

THAT is beautiful

[Michael @ Jun 9th 2009 8:31AM]

I agree. It looks very slick.

You guys must be germans (design has a german feel to it), I myself don't like that particular style at all.

[Salsa Shark @ Jun 10th 2009 12:34AM]

Well, you know Germans always make good stuff.

Any large screened Navigation device looks good but its best when its built into the console. I don't want to have something I have to take out the car and carry, and I don't want to have a theif magnet. That's why I buy my cars with Nav built in.

Hi,

in germany we have reached the point, where card dealers remove the nav units before presenting it outside and in most cases the thieves would brake ur car even if it is integrated in console. Costs 30 seconds more to take...

They now have fingerprint scan in some nav devices so if you steal it you can't use it.

People should consider raising their kids in the sense of at least telling them during the impressionable age that some things are lameass and to have some minimum respect for other people's property. (and to NOT respect BS just because it comes from someone in a uniform or in government, but that's another story)

iRiver's devices look way better than the electronics a certain Cupertino based company makes.
There. I said it.

[NickNick @ Jun 9th 2009 9:04AM]

Let it out son, just let it out.

[AndrewNoNumbers @ Jun 9th 2009 9:05AM]

Best GUI I've seen on a GPS.

[Wwhat @ Jun 9th 2009 1:41PM]

For me it looks ugly, or rather somehow depressing, but that shows it's good to have more than one design, some people like this and others like other things.
Plus if everything is the same it becomes boring and uninteresting as you get used to it, so more designs being around prevents that.

[CtrlBurn @ Jun 9th 2009 9:05AM]

1) Make it smaller
2) Hard drive, for god's sake.

[Jet @ Jun 9th 2009 9:18AM]

MEH!

[Nicholas @ Jun 9th 2009 9:26AM]

I'm going to need a bigger windshield.

[Ryan Trevisol @ Jun 9th 2009 9:53AM]

I'm not familiar with that Dave Matthews Band album cover . . . . ?

[John @ Jun 9th 2009 8:07PM]

your picture is an actual picture of you. bold.

[jayboy3775 @ Jun 10th 2009 4:18AM]

um, that window mount must have a 3 foot extender to make the unit float right above the vents on that VW Beetle, as shown in the pic.

[polostephan @ Jun 10th 2009 3:41PM]

iRiver is not German... it's Korean...
