Getting to Know Iriver Player

You have seen all there is in the mp3 player field, or so you thought. Have you seen the Disney edition iRiver player? This tiny mp3 player is small enough to fit in your front pocket and odd enough to draw the comments of all your friends.

This iRiver player is in the shape of Mickey’s head and the round mouse ears double as function controls. Skip, play or fast forward with a twist of Mickey’s ears on a player that is very unique.


Features

• 1 GB flash memory
• 2.0 USB transfer
• Audio - MP3, WMA and ASF
• 9 hour battery life

Pros

Cons

At first glance the iRiver player is as cute as they come, however after serious inspection it is possible that some may not know intuitively that this is Mickey Mouse’s head. There are no facial graphics on the player and turned right it could look like gumballs or a water molecule.

This is a problem that iRiver was quick to work on, new generation models now come with small LED lights that simulate eyes with different expressions depending on the function you are performing. More recently, a Korean based company developed a dock for the iRiver player that is in the form of Mickey’s body, if the player was not already strange enough!

With no graphic displays of any kind, there are a couple of features that you simply do not have. There is no way to know when the battery is about to die, even though independent testing has given the battery about ten hours it would be nice to be able to see when it is going down. You also have no visual volume indicator; songs are played in the order and at the volume downloaded.

Overall

The iRiver Player Disney edition is unique and will find a customer base with the young and the young at heart. If you are looking for different, this is the player for you. The small memory size and lack of display will likely keep the diehard mp3 lover away but it would be a nice gift for a young child or someone who is into all things Disney.
