You may remember the iriver Spinn
back at CES in January. What we couldn't tell you about the official successor to the popular Clix 2 is its UK release date. But we can now: August.
Out of the whole new
iriver lineup, the Spinn is the one we're most excited about, despite its daft name. The model will still be coming in 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB capacities and with DAB radio, as well as Bluetooth. It'll also support Adobe Flash video and comes with a 3D acceleration chip, to give its interface a more fluid feel on the 81ml (3.2-inch) 480 x 272 AMOLED screen.
The MP3, OGG, WMA, MPEG-4 simple profile and WMV media formats are confirmed as being supported, but we can now tell you battery life is rated at a fairly average 25 hours for audio, 5 hours for video and 4 hours of digital radio listening.
We'll be bringing you our hands-on report as soon as humanly possible, and the Spinn will be available from our chums at
Advanced MP3 Players when it goes on sale in August for an as-yet-unconfirmed price.
