iRiver v10 to Hit US Markets in 2006

We've just come to know that iRiver's neat-looking iRiver V10 will be released in the USA, though the exact launch date is unknown. The V10 sports a sliding keypad, so you can keep it in your pocket after playing games/video on it.

The iRiver V10 display features a 640 x 480 pixel resolution, and if rumors are to be believed, it may have Wi-Max support as well (not Wi-Fi), to support multi-player gaming.

No other specs are available but thankfully there's an image.

iRiver V10 - it's not just a G10

Well, seems as if iRiver doesn't think we're cool enough for a hands-on with their G10 (pictured left) - you know, the portable gaming device that probably won't make it to outside of Korea anyway (so the reps told us, not sure what to believe right now).

On top of that, there supposedly is this V10 thing as well (pictured right). This one is actually planned for a 2006 release in the United States - being an upscaled version of the G10, it'll probably offer either 8-16GB worth of flash memory or a 1/1.8-inch hard drive (up to 30GB). The V10 is intended to be a WiMax media player, but if time schedules are getting too tight iRiver might drop the sliding keypad-thingy, so that the device might end up looking like an oversized U10.

The source article also mentions this:

iRiver is also looking to increase the V10's chip horsepower to allow it to playback 640x480 video at 30 frames per second. Other possibilities for the V10 include GPS and digital free to air TV functionality.
