Even more new iRiver models
comment: 17 | Thursday, July 20 (2006) 11:02AM | Posted by chicubs
We just heard of the new N20, but iriver apparently has even more new stuff on the horizon according to iriverfans.

There will be two models. One will be called the D25 which will likely be a smaller version of the weird dictionary mp3 player we saw from iriver a while back. The D10 (pictured right) was only released in asia, so I wouldn't be holding your breath for a European or US release.

The other and more interesting model's letter cannot be revealed right now, but its model number will be 10.

Reported features/specs:

- smaller than W10
- Talblet PC or UMPC
- DMB and GPS
- maybe a camera
- Macromedia Flash player 8
- Wibro support

Once again, I'm going to have to say that this probably will not become available outside Asia.

Thanks to michaelzhang from iriverfans via our forums

EDIT: Jungti1234 via our forums claims that the letter of the device is actually J. So, I guess its the J10 then. He also claims that the picture he shows is one of 16 designs. Also, he says it will most likely be touch-screen based, have no camera or GPS function, and he confirms it will be windows but not Vista based.

What's with the recent UMPC/gaming thing iRiver have going on? Case of can't compete so go into a different market?

I think they just see opportunities in other areas and want to take advantage of it before others do the same. I do have renewed faith in iriver so my perspecitive is different from yours.

lol, I'm aware of a portable PC market

Whoever gets that perfected would make millions upon millions. As it is there has always been a few drawbacks

Still, if the next rumoured player is a UMPC, well...I suppose Microsoft and partners are pushing it but who buys the things? Is it really better than a 10 or 12.1 in ultra portable laptop?

Jungti, we typically give credit to the source we got it from. In this case, it was michaelzhang who submitted the news to us as well as posting it on his site and our forums.

There's no denying the cool factor of some of these gadgets by iRiver.. but.. it seems that they are using the shotgun approach and have lost focus, the way they seem to be flailing about..

The design team seems to be all revved up.. I just wonder if there is a master plan to harness all this horsepower..

^Why? Just look at it. It is the crapiest drawing I have seen in my life (And don't argue with me, I am going into industrial design). iriver would never hire a designer like that.

Anyways, read the replies, the members even explain that the drawing is fan drawn. Next time, read the WHOLE article.

Of course, iriver's designer doesn't such draw.
(Its design does in inno design, inno designer doesn't such draw too)

Can you bring internal document?
I can't, also person who painted the picture can't.
He/She saw internal document and painted, and is correct.
I will get correct image much more.

We'll see if your prediction that they won't make another DAP again is correct design. I bet you it's not.

designfabulous// 안녕하세요.
영어로 하기 불편해서 한글로 글을 씁니다. 저는 서울 삽니다.

1. inno에 대한 이야기는 김영세 사장 얘기를 하는 게 아니고,
J10의 디자인을 inno에서 한다는 말입니다.
J10의 디자인을 inno에서 한다는 것..
그리고 아직 디자인도 정해지지 않았다는 것은 실질적인 제작에는
들어가지 않았다는 것으로, iriver 직원도 J10에 대해서 잘 모를 수 있습니다.
그리고 저는 어떠한 것도 장담할 수 없어요. 근데 단 한가지...
이 소식은 이미 전세계에 퍼졌습니다.
제가 뭐하러 실명걸고 제 아이디 걸고 전세계를 낚습니까?
뭔가 믿는게 있으니 제 실명 걸고, 제 아이디 걸고 이 소식을 유포한겁니다.

2. 디자인이라고 했는데... 뭔가 부실하죠?
일단 제가 그린게 아니구요. 이미지의 출처를 알리게 되면
저 그림을 그리신 분의 신변이 위험하기 때문에 어쩔 수 없이
말할 수가 없습니다. 디자인이 있는 내부 문서나 그 틀을
빼낼 수가 없습니다. 기업이 바보도 아니고, 이렇게 중요한 소식을
쉽게 유포할리가 없죠, 당연히.... 그렇기 때문에 저 디자인들을
얻기 위해서 다른 시도를 했고, 그리신 분이 내부 문서를 보시고
저 그림들을 그리게 된겁니다. 이해가 되시려나요..


아직 정해진건 아무것도 없고, 날마다 계속 바뀌고 있습니다.
이 정보를 어디서 얻었는 지는 말할 수 없지만, 분명히 신뢰할만한
분께 얻은 정보입니다. 제가 바보가 아닌이상 아이디와 실명을 걸고
전세계를 낚지는 않습니다. 앞으로 iriver가 출시할 제품은
제가 확인한바로 D25, N20, V10, G10, G20, W10, B20, B30, J10 총 9가지고
(M20은 잘 모르겠음) 어쨋든 사실인지 아닌지는...
모두 제품이 출시가 되어야 말할 수 있는 거겠죠.

생각에 정리가 잘 안되서 글 내용이 좀 엉뚱할 수 있는데
저를 나쁜사람으로 몰진 말아주세요...ㅠㅠ

J10 이거, 괜히 알렸나봐요..
외국이건 한국이건(한국사람에 의해서) 거짓말이라고 하시는데
괴롭습니다요.... 어디서 낫는지 확 밝혀버리고 싶지만은..

으으.... 미안함니다. 영어가부족(?) 하나요? 내용이 다르내요... 생각에 정리보다는. 사실, 카나다이민자 임니다... 그래서 한국말을 잘못함니다 (2살때 이민갓음). 정말 미안함니다. DAPreview member들 한테 설명을 하갯습니다... 겅정마새요. 미국놈들 이상황 이해못함니다.

DAPreview members, this user (Jungti1234) is not a liar or anything. His english is just not too good and I misunderstood him. The J10, is real. It is going to be a produced product. Also, l am sorry, for judging this situation so quickly.
