Of those who have voiced complaints about iriver's dimunitive U10 audio player, they've mostly been of the same variety.

"Only 1 GB? Where will I store my music/movies/porn/vacation photos?"

"Over $ 200? It needs at least 2 GB of flash storage for that price."

Well, these cries may have been heard by the folks at iriver. Showing up on a few online webshops (and in this forum thread) is something called the iriver Clix (AKA CXW-2G).




What's there to say about it? Well, from one of the online retailers, the following specs are listed:

• 2.2" color display
  
• 28 hours of battery life
  
• PlaysForSure and subscription support
  
• MP3/WMA/OGG playback
  
• Also shows photos and video (15 fps MPEG4)
  
  

Hmm...yeah, looks like the U10 spec-wise. And the "Clix" name certainly fits considering the U10's clicky buttons surrounding the screen. So is this just a name change + capacity bump?

Well, one of our members has an inside peek at the Clix:



I'm normally not a fan of "special sauce", but in this case I may be willing to accept it. Especially if it's some sort of mix of oregano and gapless playback. We'll be on the lookout for sure.


Note: There are supposedly 2 GB U10's available in parts of Europe and Korea, but nowhere else, yet.
