Here’s an interesting touchscreen phone from iRiver. It’s not the PMP we’ve gotten used to but it’s a totally new concept. Showed first at CES 2008 last January, the phone was picked up by Korean carrier KT and it has received a launch date, March 9th of next year.

The phone is practically a PMP with phone functionality and we’re going to see it in store’s as iRiver’s wave. The wave will get you a 3 inch touchscreen, WiFi and possibly 3G support, FM radio, PMP features and even an e-dictionary. The wave comes with 4GB of internal storage space which is upgradable via miniSD cards.

OK then, we need some prices and some official release dates for European and American markets.

Recall the iRiver NV that we mentioned one year ago? It was a beast when it came out, sporting a GPS function, being a portable media player, having a digital media broadcasting feature, and a FM tuner. If you enjoyed the NV, get ready for its smaller brother named iRiver NV Mini.

The main difference is really the size, because the rest of the features are almost all the same. With that being said, the NV Mini has a smaller 3.5-inch screen, which is exactly half the size of the iRiver NV. In terms of the GPS navigation, the system uses software and maps made in Korea by Gini, and it is all included in a SD memory card of 4GB.

iRiver has just launched two MP3 players for UK customers. In case none of the iPods does it for you, maybe it’s time you tried the T7 Stix and the L Player for a change.

T7 Stix is the stick-like player in the image above. It’s a really simple USB device that comes in 1GB, 2GB or 4GB, depending on your needs. It will pack MP3, WMA, ASF and OGG music or the regular FM radio. If none of that impresses you than maybe you need it to record your own music.

The L Player is interesting too. It has a 2 inch 320 x 240 pixel display and it supports MP3, WMA, ASF audio files and of course, MPEG-4, WMV and Flash video.The FM radio and voice recorder are there as well as the radio recording option. There are two versions, the 4GB which sells for $177 and the 8GB which comes to $216.

In some more post-CES news, iRiver has showcased their new portable media player, iRiver SPINN. The amazingly sleek design made me think of James Bond in a heartbeat. And yet, unlike some which has form yet lacks substance, it seems the SPINN has both. It features a 3.2-in. touch screen where you can watch clips, view images and choose tracks to play. If, for some reason, you have an aversion against touch screens, there’s always the little analog knob controller for you to use. It also features Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity with a microphone and is available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB variants. No price or release date yet but I bet Bond could get one if he wants to. Lucky bastard.
