iriver's Dicple D35 and D31 remind us of just how much we'll never understand
For a company that pretty much just makes PMPs, iriver manages to pull off an incredible quantity of surprising product moves and design choices. Its new Dicple D35 and D31, for instance, square off any of the sexiness and sleekitude of previous iterations, like 2007's D5. The devices seem to be getting inexplicably thicker, the screen bezel has become more prominent, and iriver just doesn't seem to care. However, the software has certainly come a long way from those electronic dictionary days, with widgets, advanced multimedia features (like DMB and radio recording), handwriting recognition and PIM functions -- all of which we have little idea as to the functionality, since the spec list is in Korean, and we don't imagine iriver plans on shipping this sort of stuff to the States any time soon. Still, we can dream.[Thanks, Alex]Read - iriver D31Read - iriver D35
Iriver's D5 electronic dictionary makes us want to learn Korean
Damn if iriver can't build'em some sexy. Meet the D5, the Brad to the NV's Angelina. As we heard last week, the D5 is an electronic dictionary... but also so much more. At just 14.9-mm thick closed, the D5 Dicple packs a 3.0-inch, 480 x 272 pixel TFT display for all your flash and MPEG-4 video while sporting an FM radio (with voice and FM recording skills) as well as MP3, WMA, OGG audio. It even packs a 52-key QWERTY into this shirt-pocketable device. Sadly, as an eDic, it won't be escaping Asia for a Stateside stay so you'll have to satiate your lust in the gallery for now. %Gallery-4084%[Via AVING]
