Remember the sexy iRiver media player we featured a while back? It appears that it has finally hit the shelves in Korea, and is now retailing for approximately $535, which is quite a lot, compared to what the competitors are offering.

So what do you get for that huge price?
Well, basically you get an all-in-one media player, that is able to play most formats: MP3,WMA, OGG – ASF, WMV, MPG, Xvid, H.264, and can be expanded via an SD card.

It also has a 1.3 megapixel camera, which are already pretty common with most cellphones, or even worse than what most cellphones currently have.

I wonder if there’s really a market for a device of this sort. While some companies strive to bring as many functions as they can into one small package, others go the opposite way.

The way I look at it, this a very expensive PSP that, in some aspects, does less things. And if you live in that side of the world you can even get a camera for it with the same resolution.
