That was fast wasn't it? CNet already has a review up of the brand-spanking new iriver Clix, and unlike most DAPs they review that aren't named iPod or Zen Vision:M, they love it, rating it an 'excellent' 8.7/10. It seems like the new interface and integration with Windows Media Player 11 and the URGE music store is quite impressive, along with the already sleek hardware.



Hmm, so what about WMP11 and URGE? CNet decided to have a go at reviewing those as well. Both are still currently in Beta, but aside from typical bugs that infest the Beta release of a product, they're turning out well in the reviewers' eyes, each scoring 8.0/10 (WMP11, URGE).

We've heard from many that the key to Apple's iPod is the seamless integration (buzzwords) between transfer software, music store, and player. This effort from iriver, Microsoft, and MTV may be the first that actually emphasizes reaching that goal.
