Meet iRiver's Clix: Say, Haven't We Met Before?

iriver-clix.jpgSo iRiver has made its Clix media player available on its website, and I'm left asking one question: how exactly is it different from the U10, to which it bears more than a passing resemblance (and by "more than a passing resemblance" I mean "exactly the same")?

Well, let's see: a capacity of 2 GB, slightly reduced battery life, $199 versus $249 and, ummmm, that's it. Kind of anticlimactic really,

Okay, people, as you were.

Update: Ask and you shall receive. DAPReview points to a significant difference: the Clix works with Windows Media Player and URGE.

It is good indeed :) Videos are smooth and crisp sound is great and havent had a problem yet ... apart from the fact i have the leg o me trouser worn out with clearing the fingerprints. Im going to get my hands laminated though so problem should not last.

8/10
Pro: sound, video, storage, Flash potential
Con: Product designers should test materials first... its a basic concept, Flash games included are poor to date.

Could you simply use a stylus or something to eliminate the finger prints? Or do you have to press down sorta hard to do something? I have yet to get it but I think it comes with a screen cover if you order from the website.

In the line of Emru Townsend logic:

So Apple has made its Nano player available on its website, and I'm left asking one question: how exactly is it different from the iPod, to which it bears more than a passing resemblance (and by "more than a passing resemblance" I mean "exactly the same")?

Well, let's see: a capacity far lesser than the real iPod, reduced battery life & sound quality, $ differences and, ummmm, that's it. Kind of anticlimactic really,

Oh.. wait, the new iPod Nano is a revolution though, rejunated from the ground up.

Okay, people, as you were.
