iriver has made some excellent and innovative portable media players, like the Clix, and some disappointments, like the E100. The new P7 falls somewhere in between. Offered in the United States in capacities of 8GB ($179.99 list) and 16GB ($209.99), ...

Sleek, minimal design. Large screen. MicroSD slot for storage expansion. Supports several audio, video, and photo file types. Includes voice and FM recorder

Touch screen requires stylus for optimal performance. Large for a low-capacity player. No Web access ; Watch the iriver P7

The iriver P7 is all about "buts": It's the size of a hard disk-based media player, but is slim on built-in memory, and there's no Web access. And the sprawling 4.3-inch screen is great for movies, but you'll need a stylus for navigation.

Thanks to a rather lush 4.3-inch screen and an Apple-like aluminium frame, the iRiver P7 looks and sounds just like the kind of PMP to give the iPod touch a shoeing. But once you've get all het up over its top-end innards, be prepared to for a mighty ...

Slick looks, great style

Sluggish performance, buggy PC software

A good looking PMP ruined by poor UI and slow performance. the iRiver P7 needs some major work

The P7 may not be perfect, but it's the most convincing product iRiver have put out in quite a while. We liked the look and feel and welcome that iRiver has, at last, managed to combine both on-board memory and card storage data into one library. File ...

How does iRiver's P7 PMP fare against the likes of the Cowon O2 and iPod touch?
