Im buying one. Will match my U10 perfectly.]]>Jan 3rd 2006 8:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/

I'm disappointed. That thing looks more like a DS killer at best. Com'on, add a keyboard, PDA stylin. Why can't these companies listen and make a device for us?]]>Jan 3rd 2006 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 9:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/

Agreed. In fact, the whole controller setup looks horribly difficult to use. ]]>Jan 3rd 2006 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 9:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 9:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/


I see they have KT branding on there too which likely means there will be some kind of product tie-in with Korea Telecom's services. Likely, they will be offering a wi-bro service.



Looks promising except for the d-pad...]]>Jan 3rd 2006 9:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/

I've ordered a GP2X a few days ago, it seems to be promising enough.

I can't see much in terms of commercial games either - and the windows OS isn't as good as Linux for developers. Oh well, i'll let it be. Someone please email me when i've been proven wrong...]]>Jan 3rd 2006 11:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/


Looks pretty sweet. If iRiver can be competitive on price and offers some decent games (or, the holy grail, a free dev kit), we could see a third player in the handheld market.



My only concern is the ergonomics. It doesn't look like it'd be comfortable to play games on this for more than 30 minds at a time. Also, the lack of an analog stick limits gameplay possibilities.]]>Jan 3rd 2006 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/

A nice screen like that is what you need to really enjoy watching video on the go...



Not to mention how cool album art and videos would look on that... jesus apple if your design team is reading this right now ... tell them to get busy

but.....the ergonomics look horrible. it looks like it would be top heavy with that big screen pushed up 2 the top like that. and the lack of analog sticks rules out lots of the 3D aspects off the bat. (expect alot of racing games and side-scrollers). and that D-pad has the buttons 2 far apart 4 them 2 b like the playstation's D-pad, they gotta b their own separate buttons which would suck. and speaking of suck, think of how much battery power this thing would eat (but hell, PSP is doing ok wit shitty battery life so...).



but overall, with a few cosmetic changes and good developer support (which i dont think it will get lol) it could make a legitamate 3rd option in the handheld department.]]>Jan 3rd 2006 3:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 5:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 7:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/Jan 3rd 2006 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/03/more-deets-on-irivers-wibroin-game-console/


Very cool. I would like to see more of this and detailed specs. I am also curious of when this is coming out since we Gadget-Crazy would like tp purchase a container load of them like we did psp's. Thats why sony had hardly any stock left. We made a huge margain profit and sold so many now we are simply looking for the next gadget to make Gadget-Crazy big.

2.) that lame handheld GPX2304 SUXEDDOOoRz u know that crap with linix or whatever was on it.



3.) wtf "iRiver" is not a catchy name, you would be luky to fool middle class 40 year old mid life crises balding men trying to be cool and have somthing with their ipod nano. the iriver isnt that special.



4.) nobody cares about koreas biggest game.OOOO A MARIO KART CLONE!!! what koreans need to do is pick up a copy of battlefield2 and a pair of nut sacks.
