Comments on: iRiver X20: Available here, you say?

An astute CNET reader points out that the iRiver X20 can be acquired in the States.

Similiar to the Insignia Video

The player really reminds me of the Insignia Video from Best Buy. Nearly same feature set, microSD support, screen size, and even some design elements. Good luck on getting a review sample Jasmine, I'm sure they'll be nice enough to give you one. I have a feeling it will come to the US eventually. The S10 for instance was thought to be an asian exclusive but showed up at iriver America recently.

Ditto what Michael said...

Funny thing about devices that are "exclusive" to a region AND happen to be made well - they wind up everywhere anyway. Another good example of that would be the Motorola A1200 which was originally designed for the Asian market. Launched in November 2005, a year later it was the #2 search item on pricegrabber.com behind a black RAZR.

When there's a will, there's a way.

iRiver Clix 2 or iRiver X20 -> any opinions?

I've heard good things about the Clix2 8GB

Has anyone compared the Clix2 8GB to the x20? I'm currently trying to decide between these 2. My main concern is SQ, thanks!
