At CES 2007, iriver impressed us with the amount of new products they announced. Sadly, many of those new products haven't seen the light of day. I didn't know why that was until now. As it turns out, they expended all of their resources creating their lineup for CES 2008! Hopefully we'll actually see players like the Spinn released this year since I'd actually like to buy the thing. Today we bring you another player that you may, or may not see this year, the iriver E100:



Unlike some of the other new players announced, the E100 did have a working model at CES. It's a no-frills midrange player, with a 2.4" display, built-in speakers, and capacities ranging from 4 to 16GB's. It also has a microSD slot for expansion. Plus all of the usual extras (FM tuner, recording, etc...). I'd have to see more of it, but I do like the player's clean look. There doesn't seem to be any fancy control scheme on the E100, just your typical D-pad controls. They're built-in the body of the player and looks similar to the controls found on the Sony S610 series. It's unclear from the pictures if these are physical controls, or touch-sensitive. Like always, we'll update you with all the details when we get them.
