50,000 yen or $415 will be more expensive by the time it gets here

... but but but it's bigger than the original iPod.

The nice new small second generation iPod is just THE funkiest mp3 player. I want one. Now!

It's a *little bigger

Ipod sound quality is worse.
Ipod doesnt give you a remote on the phones. You can buy a non lcd one.
Ipod has no radio.
Ipod cant record.

Battery life on iriver = 14 - 16 hours.
Battery life on ipod = 8/9 at best

Iriver can be used as a "mass storage device" ie plug into usb 2 and use it as a portable hard drive.

Iriver can store files in folders - very nice - saves all that mp3 tagging.

If you put untagged mp3's into an ipod it will display nothing.

There were some good pics comparing the 2 up somewhere but i can find them.

Good discussion on ipod vs iriver here

hmmm, i was kind of looking for a portable yolky that could record .wav's...
10 gigs is feck all tho, are there any bigger capacity models on the way?

p2p

There's an IHP-200 due out for christmas,
20 gig version.

Personally I cant wait that long
