Reigncom, the company behind IRiver-brand digital music players, has shown four new flash-memory based music players ahead of this week"s SEK exhibition in Seoul. Among them is an addition to its H10 product line and the U10, a multimedia player which is operated through a touchscreen display panel.
The U10 marks a design step from other IRiver players in that it"s entirely operated via a touch screen display. It has a 2.2-inch QVGA (320 pixel by 240 pixel) landscape-oriented screen that takes up the majority of the front of the player. Menu choices are positioned towards the corners of the main display so they are within reach of the user"s thumbs while they are holding the player. It plays MP3, Windows Media Audio, ASF, and Ogg Vorbis format audio files and MPEG4 video files.
