Speaking of New Models from iRiver
It looks as if more details on iRiver's upcoming models are starting to come out. We had covered this a couple of months ago and it looks like we were largely on target.
First up, are the H340 and H320 players, weighing in at 40GB and 20GB respectively. With similar functionality to the older H-series players, they add a color LCD for displaying photos and modified controls. Notably, the H340 also includes a "Ladestation" which (not being Swiss-German speakers) we believe is a docking station, a first for iRiver.
Next are the Personal Media Players, the PMP-140 and PMP-120. These are color LCD portable video players in either 20GB or 40GB configurations. They support AVI, MP4, MPG / DivX 3.x, 4.x, 5.x, XviD, MPEG 4 SP, Advanced SP, MPEG1 and WMV video formats in addition to music playing and photo display.
Last are the Personal Media Centers, the PMC-140 and PMC-120, shown at right. These will also be portable video players with either 20GB or 40GB, but are based on Microsoft's Portable Media Center technology.
There aren't a lot of details on the PMCs, but the iRiver Switzerland site says to expect them in Q3 of this year. However, the PMPs will almost certainly hit the streets before the PMCs. What, exactly, the real differences between the two lines will be remains to be seen.
I hope the "Ladestation" would be a docking station. But the better translation is maybe, like on the irivernordic site charging cradle because "laden" in german has the meaning of charging.
This point would be very interessting for me too.

Posted by: russelljsmith at May 19, 2004 09:45 AMI'll be interested to see how much battery life these new video players get. IIRC, Archos video jukebox thing only got like 4 hours of playing video.
Posted by: Lone at May 19, 2004 03:36 PMIn terms of battery life, iRiver has a pretty good track record so I'd set my expectations fairly high. On the other hand, I'm really curious to see what a color LCD iPod would get. The 3rd gen iPod is only about 8 hours or so.
Posted by: Lindsey Smith at May 19, 2004 03:50 PMYeah, its looking like the 4th generation iPod with have a color LCD like the new iRiver models, but I won't even consider buying it unless they up the battery life.

Compare that to something similarly related such as the upcoming Archos AV500 and the Creative Zen Portable Media Center, not a dated Sony Ericsson smartphone model. Smartphones are in a different category with new models yet to be released. Might as well compare it to the OQO or the FlipstartPC while you're at it, which have much more in common. All those have better video playback capabilities than smartphones, can play music files, and are yet to coming out.

Convergence. Overlap.
calm down!
I was only talking about the look & feel of course, not the feature set. The t610 is just a bog-basic handset, not even smart phone.

Just surfed in and found this really interesting place here. A lot of good stuff for everybody.
Go on like this and i will surely visit your site again sometime.
A friend told me of your site. Thatīs definitely what i was looking for. I will surely recommend you.
Posted by: Sandy Milane at October 7, 2004 01:43 AMHas anyone seen an H320/340 in-person? I'm trying to find out if they still include a wired remote like the H100-series machines. I think this was one of the best features of the older model, yet not a single picture I can find shows an H300-series with a remote.
Posted by: AMuro at November 27, 2004 12:07 PMH340 has a remote with no display. Checkout the following for detailed reviews:

Posted by: chandip at November 27, 2004 03:52 PMAlso, I believe that the H1xx remotes with the LCD display DO work with the H3xxs.
