Perhaps the most industrial looking iriver player since the H100 series, the Photo Tank was on display today and didn’t disappoint. Weighing in with capacities of 80GB or 160GB, the Photo Tank is touted as a media storage device, but seems to be a multi media player as well. It features a world’s first 4.1″ AMOLED Display, iriver’s Spinn System Navigational controls, Video, Photo, Music, Flash Games, FM Tuner, Voice Recording and DMB (where available) and TV Out. It also is expandable via both SD and CF slots.

One of the biggest surprises from iriver at CES was the GSM phone that was on display. Basically a W7 with different firmware, iriver was able to place a call to the misticriver hotline via this nifty gadget and talk away. Don’t know if we’ll see it hit the states, but it was a cool device. No specs available at this time.

The iriver P10 debuted at CES this year. The type of player that iriver enthusiasts have been hoping for ever since the H300 series disappeared from production. Finally a hard drive based player, but is it too little, too late? The P10 is a PMP by design and meant to compete in that arena with the likes of the Archos Series, Cowon A3, etc. The P10 is only sporting 33GB, which by today’s standards of 80GB & 160GB hard drives is rather meager. The P10 does enter the game with some great features and a clean look. Touted as supporting “All Codecs” and having an E-Dictionary, FM Tuner, Flash Games and a lovely 4.0″ 800×400 Touchscreen LCD, the P10 is no slouch.

The iriver Unit 2 makes a return at CES 2008. The Unit 2 was first shown a year ago at the 2007 CES show and since then, not much has been seen or heard from iriver about this product. On display with the dock and remote, the Unit 2 received a good deal of attention. Designed to be an all-in-one solution for the home and portable market, the Unit 2 does just about everything including VoIP Phone and VoIP Video Phone.

iriver has again graced us with a new lineup of great looking players. Let’s hope that some of these beauties make it to the U.S. shores. First on the list today, the iriver Spinn. Available in 4GB, 8GB and 16GB configurations, the Spinn uses a new iriver navigation system via an Analog wheel as well as the usual bevy of great features along with a beautiful 3.2″ WQVGA 480×272 Widescreen Display. Take a look at the quick video below.

iriver is debuting its new P10 with a 1.3″ 33GB hard drive at CES.  According to the iriver Korea site, the P10 packs a DMB receiver, bezel touch navigation system, multi-codec support (exact details unavailable), 600mhz CPU, built-in speaker, and the list goes on.  Of course we hope to have a “hands on” with this sweet unit at CES and will provide full photo coverage.
