Love me some iRiver, I can tell you that much. They’re the one company, aside from Creative, who knows that consumers want sexy devices for not much money. Case in point: the iRiver E100. The player can hold up to 8GB of music, has a MiniSD card slot, and costs about $215 in stores. Pocketable’s review is pretty damn long but it makes a compelling argument to pick one of these up if you’re in the market for a big-screen portable for less than an iPod Classic.
Review: iriver E100 [Pocketables]
“Like a square iPod”
Wow… Last time I checked, that would be a rectangle.
For 8GB of storage it’s more like the Nano than the Classic which has 80GB of storage. The Nano only costs $199 and a refurb costs $169. The best deal on a player is $229 for a refurb iPod Touch. There is no comparison.
