so...is there a reservation list for E100 @iRiver Store?

[tchariya]

Jeff....will you be doing a reservation/pre-buy for the E100? Maybe you can do some sexy packaging with micro-sd flash cards?

If not, someone point to a source for a legitimate merchant that would sell this to the US.

Thanks!

I'm working on bundling but nothing firm yet.

You can get the player right now from Welcome to Warehouse123.com

However, be prepared to pay a handsome premium. It's going for $215US plus $25US shipping right now.

When it hits the U.S., my guess is you'll see pricing at $149.99 - $169.99, somewhere in there especially since it can be had in Korea for approx. $152US

Once I get word on a shipping date, i'll setup pre-orders.

designfabulous over on DAPreview seems to be remarkably well-informed when it comes to iRiver DAPs and is reporting prices of €79/99/129 for the 2/4/8GB versions respectively.
That translates into ~$123/155/202 for the different models.

Oddly, that makes Warehouse123's prices almost reasonable, which if I remember Bible class is on of the signs of the apocalypse...

I doubt the 4/8GB will be that high. I'm sticking with $149.99 - $169.99US for the 8GB. If the 8GB is as designfabulous states, i'll be buying my stock from a friend in Korea at full retail and still sell it cheaper.

[Step666]

Yeah, compared to what you said, that did seem a little high.
But then compared to the Sony prices listed, it seems ridiculously cheap, so I guess it's all relative

[tchariya]

awesome! i'll keep my eye out for this being available!.

I'm growing tired of my itune controlled iPod nano (stubby model!). The SQ is very lacking compared to iRiver. i must say the multitude of accessories is great though!

[AndyisFrozen]

4GB - 109.99USD , 8GB - 159.99USD; there are probably differences depending on where you live, but this is the price on J&R,

[Super-J]

Found the new e100 case and it looks cute. Warehouse123 is now offering the case with E100, i think I'll get one now.

[AndyisFrozen]

Looks Good, but the color isn't that great.

[hiddi]

i'm looking to pick one up as well. is $159.99 the best price from J&R? any coupon codes or another retailer to possibly make it any cheaper?

[jeff]

I'm awaiting my first shipment to The iriver Store. Should be a bit less than $159.

The iriver Store - Your Portable Lifestyle, Your Way!

[jeff]

Shipment of E100's has arrived.

The iriver Store will carry the following:

8GB: ($157.99US)
Black
White

4GB: (107.99US)
Pink

We also have stock of Brand New iriver iHP-120 units with a full 1 year iriver warranty, priced at $159.99. If you mention "misticriver" in the comments section of your order, I'll knock the price down to $139.99. The discount will either be refunded via PayPal or charged the lesser amount on a credit card.

[Step666]

You have iHPs?
Wow.

The product page for them says the warranty is directly with iRiver America - what do people do if they're not in America and they were to have a problem?

If they are not in America, they have to send the unit to America

bum cheeks, I wish I would have known jeff was going to sell some ihp's and at cheaper prices than elsewhere too.

How long do you envisage your stock lasting for Jeff?

and p.s. how much is shipping to England?

I managed to pick up quite a few units so stock should last. Shipping to the U.K. is approx. $35-$40US via USPS Express Mail International.

And--in case you missed it--I just got my H120 in the post today! It's cosmetically flawless and charging as I type......

Very happy--beyond that!

[caligula]

Awsome stuff Jeff, thanks for that.

I am still waiting for mine did you or do you have a h300 BBD. An chance in the appropriate forum you could post your impressions between the two players?

[BBD]

Yes, I had an H320--which I loved like woman until the battery could give no more and I took it back to BB in exchange for the 'pod.

That's a good idea. I'll do that comparo. Might even compare it to the e100 I got me grubby mitts on...... Even though the H120 is ancient by tech standards, it's still relatively tiny (think pack o' cigs) and sleek.

[caligula]

wicked stuff, top ma BBD, and you can throw in ya comments about th e100 too if ya dont mind lol

Ahhh yes I rememer reaing yo had swapped the dead h300 for the classic, it was your post bout the classic which helped sway my final decision.

But the irivers of yore ROCK lol

So...you went with something else, right? Because being influenced by such as me is a sign o' the Apocolypse......
