We had heard about the upcoming Sony PSP’s rival - iRiver G10 just before the CES 2006. However, the picture leaked several days ago was not the iRiver G10. It is iRiver V10, the upgrade version of iRiver G10.

Basically, iRiver G10 is a portable multimedia player that supports audio/video playback, image browsing, and voice recording. Futhermore, with WiBro capability, iRiver G10 may also browse web, read email and play streaming medias. Another exciting feature is that iRiver G10 comes with independent GPU, which makes it comparable to Sony PSP! iRiver V10 is actually the upgrade version of of iRiver G10. It may feature 8 - 16GB of NAND flash memory or a 30GB of 1″ / 1.8″ HDD. The company hopes to improve its resolution of 640 x 480 @ 30fps.

Both models are still under development and expected to be first released in Korea within next few months. The company is also seeking the possibility to make its G10 to be run on US WiMax network. Otherwise, both of them will be marked as upgrade version if iRiverU10 by just taking out slider keypad!
