iRiver Announces 40G Player & Previews 2004 Line

According to this source, the new model will differ slightly from the previous 20G one - for example, the 40G player will be 3 mm thicker and 12 grams heavier. The cost of the device has not yet been determined." While we're on the topic of iRiver, thopo notes: "iRiver presented their new products coming spring 2004, here are pictures from the show, including pictures (and specs) of all new models. Especially noteworthy is the IHP-300 which comes with a 2" color TFT LCD and a very classy design. This thing got 'iPod Killer' written all over it." The page is in Korean, but most of the product descriptions in the pictures are in English.

    and I don't see "i-pod killer" written anywhere on it, much less all over it.

      The fact of the matter is that 0.01% of Ogg users use it because they're convinced it's superior way to encode music.

      It's a well-known fact that 79.4337 percent of slashdot moderators wish that there was a "-1, pulled some statistics out of his butt" moderation.

    and have a 40G drive instead of a 20G?

    Apple is also pro-profit, so they'll do it when more than five people will buy iPods as a result.

    the words "here are the pictures" and slashdot should never go together. We all know it never works out in the end.

    If I had a dollar for every "iPod killer" that's been announced, I could buy a nice new iPod mini!
