CES 2009: iriver P7, P35, D50N, and WAVE-HOME
As in years past, iriver is unveiling a slew of new products at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Though some of the devices on display this year have been seen before, 4 of the 12 gadgets listed on the tech preview document sent out a month before CES (and under embargo until today) promise to be among the most talked about iriver products this year.
I’ll get some live shots and hands-on time soon but here’s all the official information known so far about the iriver P7, P35, D50N, and WAVE-HOME (previously called UNIT 2-S).
iriver P7
The P7 is the PMP shown above.
From the press release (key specs in bold):
Iriver’s sleek new P7 is the perfect on-the-go media companion for any trend-setter. The P7 will be available in 4, 8 and 16GB NAND flash models, making the player slimmer and lighter than HDD-type PMPs, and also more durable. Functions include video, music, photo viewer, FM and voice recording. The compact P7 delivers up to 50 hours of audio playback time and full movie codec support for enjoying the latest films or videos. The intuitive new user interface and brilliant 4.3" LCD touchscreen make the player a snap to use and control. Enhanced features include SRS WOW HD and 7 Preset EQ settings, plus microSD slot.
