Gear @ IGN has a preview of iRiver's upcoming PMP-120. At the very least it confirms that it (a) exists, (b) has all the features that we thought it had and (c) will come out in the next few months (and long before the Windows Media Center-based PMC line).
Rest assured that the PMC is still on track for a 2004 release, but the PMP will be out a good deal earlier. iRiver wouldn't give a specific date, but we might see units shipping as early as this summer.
Notably though, this will be the first iRiver model with an interchangeable battery, rather than the sealed case of previous generations. Also the Gear article has size and weight stats for the PMP: 5.4"x3.3"x1.2" at 9.8oz.
I had doubts about a video player, but so far, the PMP looks pretty good. Just tons of audio and video formats.
