Just to add another seed to my rumour mill:
http://www.digitalbroadcasting.com/c...=773+r=001+l=a
It's only a tiny bit of sausage in the above article, but...
"iriver, the international digital device powerhouse, has chosen HWH PR/New Media to spearhead a major national PR campaign. Owned by global A/V force, Reigncom, Ltd., the brand is reemerging this year with an inventive and style-driven product line up of Multimedia Devices (MP3, MP4, PMP, Mobile TV), Network Devices (Home Media Center, Wi-Fi Network, Navigation products) and Content Devices (E-Dictionary, E-Book). The company, which currently dominates the Korean market and is prominent in Europe, is utilizing HWH to expand its market share in the U.S."
(Note the 'E-Dictionary, E-book' bit is mentioned).
I only post this because of the particular device this thread is about . I see it as iriver wanting to keep the hype that they achieved at CES 2008 flowing for all the products shown, but the fact that they actually make mention of 'E-Book' within their release may have some degree of significance in relation to said ebook reader device.
It's not much, if anything (this is just rumourmilling & hypothesising at its finest
), but I know there's interest in this device, so I'm just keeping an eye out for anything that might even marginally enlighten us with more info.
Cheers,
Marc
