iRiver has dropped two new top-end flash memory music players, both with options up to 1GB. The iFP-700 and iFP-800 series are, functionally, pretty much the same as iRiver’s other, older flash players, with MP3/OGG/WMA playback, MP3 recording, FM tuner and encoder, and the ability to work with most WMA-DRM music files from Those Music Services That Aren’t iTunes. Prices start at $129.99 for the 128MB version and top out at $399 for the 1GB. I still think the 100 series is their best looking flash line so far, but you have to admire iRiver’s dogged persistence to compete in a market completely overshadowed by hard drive-based players.
