iRiver X20: Nano Killer?
iRiver doesn’t exactly have an impeccable track record, consistently churning out mediocre devices with equally mediocre feature sets. While the new X20 is not revolutionary by any means, it does signal a bright spot in the company’s quest for greater market dominance. Clearly aimed at the Nano-carrying set, the X20 comes in 2, 4, and 8 GB flavors. Each model features a bright 2.2 inch QVGA color screen. With support for MP3, WMA, and OGG file types, the mini-River certainly trumps the iPod in file compatibility. Other specs include an SD expansion slot, FM tuner, and support for video playback from WMV and MP4 files. Currently set to be released in Japan next week, there’s no word on stateside availability or pricing, but if iRiver does decide to bring this one our way, it might prove an interesting and appealing alternative.
