iRiver Spinn (8GB) review

By (cnet.com)

The Iriver Spinn offers a unique, innovative design with a high-quality build. The touch-sensitive display is bright, responsive, and relatively large. The interface is customizable, and the player is packed with desirable features such as built-in ...

The Iriver Spinn is expensive, and yet it lacks some of the advanced features expected in the price range, such as integrated Wi-Fi or an SD card expansion slot. It maxes out at 8GB and using it isn't immediately easy. Despite the seemingly decent ...

Until Iriver lowers the price on the Spinn, it will remain a luxury portable media player best suited to an early adopter with a penchant for unique gadgets and a library of lossless music.

The beautiful, fashion-conscious iRiver Spinn is the upscale lounge down the street from the Slacker G2's likable-but-slightly-sketchy dive bar. What the Slacker offers in happy-hour specials (free drinks music!), the Spinn more than matches in ...

Huge, vibrant, and sharp AMOLED screen Beautiful design and solid construction

Navigation is unintuitive at times Mediocre bundled earbuds

The Spinn is an incredibly attractive device whose saucy looks, amazing display, and high-quality audio and video playback are sure to win many admirers. A few usability and navigation issues knock it down a notch, but some of those may disappear once ...

The array of input options is nice in some ways; I especially appreciated...

"Unique slick player with a high quality build."

Despite its major shortcomings, this player i... 

Place it in your hands & you feel that it is of a higher build quality. Spin the wheel & press to select. Effective & easy. Excellent sound quality with the right headphones. A bright touch screen, FM recording & bluetooth connectivity rou

A measley 4-8GB & no SD slot? No wireless either? It takes more than a unique player/interface to stand out in todays ultracompetittive market. Movies are a pain too. Don't even bother. Lastly, the back should've been of metal too, not plastic.
