I am from Canada and will be crossing the border in June (shopping). I wanted to stop by Target to buy an iriver.

I just checked their website, and it looks like they aren't.

They're not restocking as far as I know. So if your Target is sold out, that's that. I guess.

I went to my local Target on Saturday night. They had only the display model.

Unfortunately they are gone. Try eBay. $60-$70 should get you a new in the box. Still a good deal.

So now I'm wondering, since the Story HD was a Target exclusive, is this the end of iRiver and its devices?

In the US maybe. Although you can probably still order it online if you go to irivers homepage? At least there's a link to a store there but when I try to open it it says "You have been denied access to the Iriverinc Online Store on the basis of your IP Address (217.229.x.y) and IP Address Country (Germany).".
It's still being sold normally outside US. |

Did you try the US store? I didn't see a button for an international one.

The iriverinc (united states) online store has them for $99.
They also have a long list of "where to buy" locations, but none of them carry anything iriver branded other than batteries for different iriver devices. |

They sell it on US, they have a US website and inside there's an E-store.
They sell to US and Canada. But Canada has no warranty. I am not saying that they will, but i feel uncertain, that if "luckily" i got a defective one, then I can't exchange or anything. I rather they still give me US warranty even if I live in Canada. So they pay more attendtion in caring Canadian inventory. Is that too good to be true ?

Maybe, The prices do seem to be creeping up in the last few weeks. Here's a buy now for $74.99 + shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/iRiver-Story...ht_1688wt_1037
I bought one about six weeks ago and they were going for around $54-57 plus shipping. I wish i had bought some spares when they were $49.99 at Target. |
