Video: iriver WAVE-HOME hands-on
We're continuing our onslaught of CES hands-ons with the WAVE-HOME from iriver. In a nutshell, it's a more feature-filled Ojo with much more than just video calling -- namely calendar, notes, plus it packs a WiFi phone in the back of the unit (pictured above). The video after the jump doesn't quite do justice to the smoothness of the interface, but your mileage may vary depending on the fatness of your fingers. iriver reps told us that they estimate the unit to be priced at less than $400 to make affordable enough for people to buy more than one. Feel free to peep our original post for all the juicy tech specs, and don't forget to point your friends in this direction if you don't wanna feel like a loser if you drop four bills. %Gallery-41182%
iriver announces WAVE-HOME Multimedia Communication Device
Possibly one of the oddest contraptions to be unveiled at CES this year is coming to us courtesy of iriver. The WAVE-HOME multimedia communications device actually pulls double duty as a VoIP phone and a home networking controller (of sorts, anyway), as it provides an expansive 7-inch 800 x 480 resolution touchscreen for web browsing, photo viewing and interacting with all manners of connected widgets. Furthermore, the unit packs a 1.3-megapixel camera, inbuilt speakers, an Ethernet jack, SD slot, USB connectivity, a FM radio module and support for digipen input. So really, you're looking at an unpriced UMPC that's only fit for a desk. Clever, iriver. Full release is after the break.
