nofing 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Think it takes time, probably lots of paperwork and stuff. I also asked about iRiver products at shops before and they said they were waiting for the shipments to come in. So we'll just have to wait. Maybe it'll be in time for Comex with some great bargains too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fromjava 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2007 Maybe singapore market size not big enough so they pay little attention? Anyway, realized that price for these korean brands are a bit expensive, difficult to fight with apple. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rico 0 Report post Posted August 21, 2007 fromjava, i don't think iRiver is from Japan. They are made in cchina but it's a US brand more popular in Hong Kong side, where iRiver's asia HQ seems to be located. Most of us iRiver users are getting the Hong Kong version, which is usually more outdated in terms of firmware versions. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
destiny_92 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2007 Regarding iRiver, i heard alot of people saying that it is a very expensive mp3. I checked it out at the america website but the price was not that high what. Why is this so? The Website not trustable?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
