Last September I wrote that I almost bought the iRiver iHP-100 MP3 player. One of the problems I had with it, was the fact that was just 10 gig. Well low and behold: there now is the iRiver ihp-120 which packs 20 gig of discspace. They just released it on oktober 14th. Here is the CNET iRiver iHP-120 Review.
Also, the price tag was a bit steep (at least here in the Netherlands): Euro 475,-. Yesterday I walked into the Media Markt (a huge electrical appliances store here) and saw they lowered the price of the iHP-100 to Euro 399,- which still is way to much since the iHP-120 is priced at U$ 399,- (list price; so you can get it for lower prices than that). With the current Euro – Dollar rate it is just not interesting to buy me this baby in the Netherlands. Although, there is a Dutch website that claims to be able to sell the player for 449,- Euro (see: MMport. The lowest price I have seen on a US site is $365,95 but then they do not have it in stock.
So maybe I just have to wait till I go to the US and buy me one there 😉
