aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 Sigh, read the article before, but this just adds to the gloom. iRiver would eventually pull out, especially without the help of microsoft now... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zonalblitz_audio 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 I feel sad for them. I was hoping to jump into iRiver and expecting more powerful and higher capacity DAPs to be produced in coming year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newbie123 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 iRiver had it coming. While they produced great hardware, they killed themselves on the marketing side. They never bother to increase brand awareness and yet they charged a premium pricing and coupled with a less than average design that ppl won't be motivated to say "hey, look at me, I had a iRiver", a classic formula for disaster. I was among the few who ordered a iRiver PCDP several yrs back and really like it alot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Newbie123 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2006 They have a close out sale on their PCDP (not sure abt the link, headfi has the link) now actually. 35USD for a SlimX. Its a killer price except it doesn't comes with battery and adaptor. Just the remote and main unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aaron-xp 0 Report post Posted August 29, 2006 I'm sure the pull-out would be slow... They may still keep churning out, perhaps 1 new player a year, nothing more though... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
