iriver B20 makes us fall for the iPod all over again
Iriver's B20 gadget has got to be the most underwhelming portable video player I've seen in a long time. Or maybe it just feels like it after Apple's big week. But really, who really cares about a player with a 2.4-inch screen, 4 GB of capacity (also comes in 2- and 1-GB versions), and an FM tuner? Certainly not us, and it's not just because this thing won't even be available in the U.S. (the DMB digital-TV tuner is a dead giveaway). Try us two years ago with this thing, iriver.
So if you live in the U.K. and you like lame gadgets, this ugly slab is just waiting for you to give it a home. Only £209 ($425) for the 4-GB version. Are they serious?

geeez, that has a little harsh.
I think it looks cool, but it needs more space, and the price tag to be cut in half.

That is ridiculous. All the engineering that probably went into it (or perhaps didn't) and all they needed was someone to walk into the office with a half decent PDA ($120) with a SD card from their camera ($50) and they've got a better system with the same storage capacity.
