iRiver Preps Linux-based Media Player

Posted by michael on from the holds-thousands-of-baby-pictures dept.

Mr_Silver writes "Infosync is reporting that iRiver is soon to release the Linux based PMP-120 media player which through its colour screen can support MP3, ASF, Ogg Vorbis, JPEG, BMP, AVI, MP4, DivX 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, XviD, MPEG4 SP, Advanced SP and MPEG1. Technically very cool (even more so if it is hackable), but really really ugly. iRiver really should learn how to design nice looking hardware from the experts."

      I would guess that no-one is with you. You have no friends. Which is why you're posting that nonsense to /. - whereas I don't have time to post pointless things because I have lots of friends.

    Pardon the flame-bait, but: You must have a really crappy photo album.

    To all it may concern,
    You should be ashamed of yourselves. As the description of a search engine goes, one simply finds relevant information to a query and displays results. This does not include the views of the engine's maintainers, owners, frequent users, nor corporate interests. If you are to claim any high moral ground or properly do your job, you must remove whatever makes George W. Bush's biography appear upon the search "miserable failure" as the first result. It is a shameful thing to see such a thing. You are putting your own bias in front of actual information. How can people trust the results if this continues? Like I said before, you should be ashamed of yourselves. I hate GWB like the rest of them, but I do not by any means support this obvious obfuscation of information.

    Am I the only one who thinks the "experts"-link is pretty pointless? I had to let my mouse hover over it for like 1.5 seconds to see the meaning or joke or whatever it is..
