iRiver busts out low end T8 Candy Bar and S100 PMPs in Korea

iRiver's just announced two new lines of cheap PMPs for your fanciful, color-loving ears. First up, the T8 Candy Bar boasts a classic USB stick design, and is available in eight outrageous colors. They pack 4GB of storage and a battery life of up to 17 hours -- but not much else. Up next the slightly more interesting S100, which comes in both 4GB and 8GB varieties, with a 2.83-inch, 240 x 320 resolution color display, FM Radio, microSD slot, and 720p video playback. Both the T8 Candy Bar and the S100 are available in Korea only so far, and the T8 runs 69,000 Won (around $58) while the S100 starts at 129,000 Won (around $106) with several different configurations. Shot of the S100 is after the break.

This one is for the ladies. They like it long. Also, this resemble a pregnancy test kit... A premium test kit.

I thought it was a new Wii mote at first glance.

Looks ok for the cheaper market but i won't be getting one

since most phones play music, do they think this will actually sell?

@sroach23
This.

If a PMP wants to distinguish itself, it better be of a large capacity. *ipod classic reference* insertion reqd.

@sroach23 I think the T8s will have a good chance of selling. Small low cost mp3 players are wanted by a lot of people for use while exercising. They tend to be lighter and less worries about accidentally damaging them.

Seriously Why bother? The $56 dollar one would be fine for a young child, but the >$100 price space is already taken up my devices that offer a heck of a lot more than this thing. I just wish they would spend their development dollars on something useful.

I really miss the flash drive style MP3 players. They're so convenient, no searching for a cable, the plug is right there. It's a shame that they're no longer the trend.
