It seems many Korean buyers of both ifp 700 ans 800 series have complained that it is a POS and generates too much background noise during operation. It also seems that iRiver has acknowleged it is a POS and they may or may not be able to fix the problem.
You will need to translate the page using babfish or whatever but the news is really not good! I'll post a link ASAP!

Put the iRiver link into the translator...read and cry!
iRiver as a result has announced a Exchange Plan where owners who bitch about this white noise problem can swap their player for something else....who know what?

Seems the house of cards may be showing a tendency to come apart in Korealand.
This is likely to unleash a firestorm of doo doo at the iZoo and I'm heading in the direction of the bunker...FG move over here I come!
