BRAND NEW HANDHELD COMING OUT !! - LOOK HERE!

[HUGECOOL]

Lmao. I was gonna post that last night, but I got lazy. m___m

Yeah. the media player is actually the iRiver G10 and it's already been dubbed the "PSP Killer", and I think it will live to its name. ;D

In addition to smurf's post, the media player will also have a 4-8 GB hard drive built right in. ;D This will come in handy when downloading flash games and other media through it's Wi Fi connection.

It looks like it's going to be a battery hog (like the PSP) since it'll need it for its big screen and HD accessing. Wi Fi also drains the battery. ;{

Here are some of the things that I personally like and don't like about it:

Good
- Very nice screen (Although it's only has 262K colors)
- The black and white shell compliment each other nicely by creating a contrast.
- 4-8 GB Hard drive!
- Wi Fi
- No joystick! (They're useless and annoying.)
- Runs on Windows Mobile 5
- It's not from Sony, so you won't necessarily have to spend $100+ on necessary items. (i.e memory sticks, etc.)

Bad
- It looks fragile
- Battery life might be poo
- Not sure what kind of games will be available for it.
- Will cost about $500-600. (Not sure, but most sites were saying this.)
- No touch screen. (Would be nice. ;D Like a mini tablet type thing)

Sorry, about getting the company who made it, i knew right from start that something was odd, I.E uses windows, but friend told me it was and plus it looks like a IPOD design.


SEXYDEATH - Yeah i'm not sure about the ammount of colour either, i mean if it had the quality screen that the PSP did, i mean it'll be idea for FILMS !

Umm... 2nd worry is the games i guess we'll later on find out!




... Hmmm yeah cool

Next gen isn't handheld gaming

Looks are nice, any reviews yet about the gaming side?

Although it looks good, don't you think they've left this a little late? millions already own PSP's and Nintendo DS's, that might have a costly affect for Apple. And with the last of the next gen flood for this year (hopefully) surely thats another factor that might cost apple a few million?
I'm not disagreeing with it in the slightest, just stating a few obstacles which I think might have a bounce backability affect on Apples cool media device.

I don't believe it's main purpose is gaming. It will be able to play random flash games which you'll download through the Wi Fi. Not sure if any actual games will be made for it.

Of course it is... DUH

Everyone wants everything portable nowadays. Use constructive criticism otherwise don't post.

Yeah, i've had my psp for 5 months now, and i RARELY use it for gaming, i either watch films/music.

I think you could do so much more with a portable handheld, and to be honest they are the next generation of gaming

That's like saying the PS3 is a little late, i mean we all want better graphics/gameplay and more uses for our portables, psps are good but if iriver create something that is better then a psp with more features then this will really be amazing, though at the moment it's looking doubtful due to they released the specs and they barely match the psp's in some areas (LCD screen)

- PLUS the iriver isn't very... portable, it's a very big brick a lot bigger than the psp.

think ive heard of this but the logo doesnt look like a apple logo, did you just guess it was apple, if it isnt, boy i see a lawsuit! But it looks cool, although i think expensive handhelds are pointless, i mean yes the PSP is absoloutly packed with technology its an amazing bit of kit, but would i buy one, no. I think that id only use it on the go, and im usually at home playing my Xbox 360 so i wouldnt need it, also, whey buy a UMD video, and watch a movie on a small screen with tinny soubd, when you can buy the DVD for near enough the same price and see it in full surround sound!

Yeah, very true. I ONLY use my psp when i travel (that's a lot i travel to go to a decent school)

Um.. my friends brought it the day it was released and they haven't played their psp's in couple months, that just proves that there only good if you travel ect.

[Neversoft]

I don't like it.

I'm open to anything new entering the market... At that price point, I probably won't be able to afford it though xP

I'll be loyal to my PSP until somthing completely stuns me in the handheld market though.
