Surprise to see iRiver enter this market! Look very beautiful! I may become competitor of PSP.

I was able to see the non-working unit while at CES and spoke with the CEO of iRiver directly. In Korea, they are on a wireless cellular network that lets you play against others wirelessly, here in the US you won't be able to do that initially. Its a really sweet player though.

Yeah, I saw that reported on a little while ago. Uses WiBro (as Ioman pointed out). Supposedly once WiMax is adopted more over here it will be coming over (or whatever hardware iteration it is on by the time the US gets its techy act together)

I went to there 7th & 8th! Surprising Apple didn't go to there! But their accessories are everywhere :P

Apple never goes to CES since Mac World is pretty much the week after. The unit was pretty cool looking. Can't wait to see if it ever makes it to the US.
