New Stuff from iRiver

iRiverNordic has a lineup of iRiver's upcoming products for 2004. The biggest deals are (suprise, surprise) two portable video/audio players with 3.5" color LCDs, the PMC-100 and the PMP-100. Not suprisingly, these are based on Microsoft's Portable Media Center software. It's not yet clear what the differences are between the two models, but the PMP-100 does support USB On The Go (OTG) that lets you connect USB devices (such as a digital camera) to the player to move photos off the camera.

The next big thing is the iHP-300 which looks like an iHP-1xx with the addition of a 2" color LCD for displaying photos. Does this sound familiar? It will also support USB On The Go, but it isn't clear whether the iHP-300 will also offer the same video output that the rumored 4th generation iPod will.

Finally, it looks as if the odd shaped iGP-100 will be phased out. The iGP-100 was iRiver's smaller capacity, mini portable (like the iPod Mini or Rio Nitrus). Maybe they have a new Mini-like player on the drawing board, but who knows.
