iriver NV mini bike edition routes two-wheeled warriors
iriver's NV mini has been out and about for nearly a full year now, so it makes sense to think that some sort of successor was just about ready to pop. Sure enough, a next-gen version (of sorts) has been revealed, with the NV mini bike edition (₩188,000; $156) looking to help those out there who suck it up and bike to work / school / etcetera rather than hailing a cab. The 3.5-inch touchscreen (320 x 240) is unchanged in terms of size, but the UI has been tweaked to provide larger glimpses at what's most important. It's also designed to respond to gloved fingers, and the "exercise" mode keeps track of distance traveled, speed, time traveled and calories burned. Other specs include an SDHC card slot, 3.5 millimeter headphone socket and Windows CE 5.0 underneath, with an on sale date of "right now" in South Korea.[Via Slashgear]
Reigncom reveals iriver NV mini: part PMP, part navigator, totally adorable
Look, we're pretty calloused when it comes to gadgets around here, but there's just no denying that Reigncom's (parent company to iriver) latest gizmo warmed our hearts at first sight. The freshly-revealed iriver NV mini is essentially a pared down version of the NV Life that hit in March and includes a 3.5-inch touchscreen (320 x 240 resolution), 4GB of internal capacity, a built-in battery good for 2.5-hours, Gini mapping software, a flash card slot for adding up to 8GB of storage and fairly robust multimedia player to boot. Expect it to bring smiles to many South Koreans very soon for ???188,000 ($133).[Via Hallyu Tech]
iriver M10 / NV PMP navigator in the wild
Until now, we haven't seen much more than prettied-up press shots of iriver's NV GPS/PMP unit (previously known as the M10), but the company's finally let the device loose for everyone to get a better look at, with the folks at AVING.net among those snapping up pics of it at a recent event. As you can see, what we previously assumed to be only a jog dial actually boasts its own screen (a 1.15 inch PMOLED display, specifically), which is apparently used to provide key bits of information in icon-form. Otherwise, the device looks to be just what we've been expecting, with it reportedly on track for a Korean release sometime next month.[Via Navigadget]
