iRiver’s Uber Cool LPlayer Mini Portable Media Player Now Available

IRiver’s new and decidedly drool-worthy LPlayer Mini PMP, details of which were first released at this years CES, has at last been released, albeit only in Korea at this juncture, and, if ever evidence were needed to underpin why it is that we hold iRiver in such high esteem here at TFTS then their new and frankly luscious LPlayer portable media player, with its sleek, glossy, compact and decidedly minimalist design (thanks to the device utilising a D-Click UI) would undoubtedly serve as Exhibit-A.

Measuring in at a mere 60 x 43 x 13mm and weighing just 41.2g, iRiver’s LPlayer Mini PMP comes with a choice of 2GB, 4GB and 8GB capacities, sports a 2”QVGA 320 x 240 TFT LCD display, offers MP3, WMA, ASF, FLAC and OGG audio file format support (good to see iRiver still flying the flag for the much undervalued OGG format), MP4, WMV9 and XVID video, integrated text (TXT) and photo viewer (BMP,JPG, GIF, PNG) capabilities, a built-in FM tuner and, naturally, full SRS WOW HD support with 7 preset equaliser (normal/rock/jazz/pop/classic/live/ubass) and user-definable EQ settings.

Coming with optional speaker dock, which has been cleverly designed to also serve as a stand, iRiver’s LPlayer has just been made available in Korea in black, white, brown and, of course, pink for the equivalent of around $150 for the 8GB model (equivalent to £76 / €97 at the time of writing).
