CNET review of iFP-599T
Here
Finally CNET has realised that the *Premier* iRiver player exists! Better late than never, eh?
Without doubt, IMHO this is the best MP3 device that iRiver has yet released...
The best that is, for those who...
A. Can bear to go around without carting the bulk of their music-collection with them everywhere they go.
B. Don't want a remote-control the size of a small flash-player, clipped to their clothing.
C. Want a player-recorder that will also record from the in-built radio with a simple button-press.
D. Like to be able to copy a CD, putting gaps in-between the tracks automatically.
E. Prefer their electronic device to have a substantial, all-metal, die-cast casing.
F. Like the idea of instant start-up and totally skip-free playback.
G. Need to be able to delete files to free-up space, without needing to connect to a pc to do so.
H. Appreciate a recorder that doesn't 'glitch' at regular intervals whilst storing data.
I. Have a desire to use their player whilst jogging, skipping, working-out or bungee-jumping.
J. Want a joystick that doesn't need any modification before it's comfortable to use.
K. Want a protective, fully control and port-accessible case that doesn't snag on anything when removed.
L. See the convenience of having an in-built battery that charges while-ever the machine is connected to a pc.
M. Need a multi-function device, the size of a matchbox, that can be carried and used discreetly.
N. Prefer to hear no mechanical noise whilst their machine is in operation.
O. Want the most reliable device that iRiver have so far produced.
There's no prize for guessing which series I have...
Not that I'm at all biased in my views, you understand!
