I hope iriver make the battery changeable, as my iPhone battery charge time is getting shorter and shorter. After 3 month's use, the battery only lasts less than 1 hour, and the service guys say the battery life is "user miss use" and not covered by warranty. I am really disappointed. Also, when I am lost and want to see the google map, I have to first find a WiFi access point and cannot use the 3G or HSDPA, which is not that easy you know.

it is said that W10 has it's own UI, and the UI for ces is just BtoB. On "www.iriver.co.kr" you can see it.

The iRiver company was actually founded in 1999, 2 years before the first ipod was sold in stores

iRiver... the name itself is a rip-off of Apple iPod!

You cannot launch into the phone market with ab obvious ripoff of something that exists, especially something as unnattractive as this...

It's obvious that it's just a cover for a regular iphone but with a customized skin, if anyone could take a good look will find that the button is in the same position as well as the camera.....

omg, this is going to fail so badly. This is a direct copy of the iphone in every aspect. I personally am not a lover of the iphone (personally prefer nokias) and wish that they would improve on some features (camera bit disappointing)but if you try to copy it then at least make it better in some way. Its just an iphone in a new case (which looks worse aswell)

I think that I would rather have one of those CECT Rip off iPhone's then an iRiver iPhone Rip off!! What on earth did iRiver think this was gonna do? Be a big seller? Have the guys from CECT Jumped ship and gone to work with iRiver?

Technical appearance is meaningless if you really understand the meaning of an invention..
