Yea, I remember this mockup from ages ago.

Strangely reminiscent of the iriver G10 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRiver_G10 ), which if I remember correctly was announced around before this graphic started floating around. I seem to remember posting a very similar comment before!

I'm also disappointed at these strange res ones. I'm looking to get two 24" screens to replace my three 17" panels, but if I were to get these with the 1080px vertical height then I would have almost the same resolution desktop as with my 17-inchers.

No mention of viewing angles. Most likely a TN panel.

Grrr.
Crap.

I'm amazed how misinformed people are about this...

First iRiver device (a MP3 CD player named the iMP-100) was released in November 2000
The first Apple iPod was launched in October 2001. *Nearly a WHOLE YEAR later*

And in that year, iRiver held the #1 spot in the global market of media players.

So when people say that iRiver were just a knockoff of the iPod, they couldn't be more wrong. The iRiver brand came before the iPod.

Hmmmmmm

*reads again*

Hmmmmmm

Nope, still don't understand

Mmm, first iriver I'd be interested in since the days of the original clix / U10.
52 hours battery life, and at that price, wow. If this sells in the UK then iriver have won my heart back.

As past an owner of the "real" irivers (H120 and H320) I was a bit disappointed when iriver bought out the H10 and from then on went all poofy (although I did get myself a Clix). They were finally starting to make gains in the US and UK markets with the Clix then decided to pull all their efforts back to Korea and make stupid Mickey Mouse "mplayer" things.

Please iriver, let this be the first step back to goodness.

Many high-end audio interfaces are firewire, although some of the newer ones like the RME ones are FW800 so I guess they're ok for now. My Motu units are FW400 though.

It is far superior to USB 2.0 for this use; all stuff to do with the chipsets and the bus not being shared and whatever stuff I don't understand. All I know that USB is fairly pants for audio, hence there aren't many interfaces that use it and those that do are cheap and nasty.

Firewire hard drives are also brilliant.

So yes, people have been using firewire, but things have superseded it. I'm guessing FW800 is the new thing for audio, and eSATA for external drives.

It is a 'driver', not a 'drive'...

...makes me wonder if you even know what you are talking about...

...and anyway, numbers don't matter. That's like saying, I have a cock on my forehead, that must make me better than you because I have two.

### You could have two crap drivers blasting out any old crap, OR you could have two high-quality drivers with a good crossover and frequency responses tuned to compliment the crossover frequency. I wonder which these are? ###.

$450 is an amazing price for a 128gb SSD, although that doesn't go to say its a particularly good or fast one.

Even so, might be worth buying the laptop with one, ripping the drive out and selling the laptop on with a normal HDD in it.

Hmmm, normally one would expect to see the comments flooded with iPhone comments, but it would seem that even the fanboys are bored with these endless pointless posts now.

Hmmm, Neumann U87 or this hacked with an xlr connector?
Deffo this - flashing lights change everything.
