iRiver NV Does it All

iRiver NV Does it All
iRiver, makers of the fantastic Clix line of Personal Media Players (PMP), has unleashed its new iRiver NV PMP, which integrates GPS navigation into a sturdy, feature-filled player. Here's, the skinny on the new device:

The Good:
  • A seven inch, 840x480 LED backlit display that's twice the resolution of your Video iPod.
  • The industry standard SiRF GPS chip. It's the industry standard for a reason.
  • An FM tuner, in case you get bored of your library of tunes and videos. An FM transmitter beams your tunes to nearby speakers.
  • A 1.3 megapixel camera that automatically tags your photos with coordinates from the GPS receiver.
  • Some of the most thorough format playback we've ever seen, AVI (Divx, Xvid, MPEG-4, H.264), ASF, WMV, MPG, MPEG, DAT, MP3, WMA, OGG, AC3, BSAC.
The Bad:
  • It's only available in Korea.
  • What, no phone?
And The Ugly:
  • That dial. We think it this is a love it or hate it situation, but that bulbous dial attached to this sleek device just sticks in our craw.
