iRiver IDP100
seems to be another great product from iRiver

The Good
Expandable Cheap memory. 4 lines LCD.

The Bad
Needs convertion to CK format when uploading into player. Design looks childish, worst design of all iRiver product.

The Conclusion
If you are considering a big storage MP3 player that doesn't take up the entire
bag of yours, you may want to consider this model. This is the first MP3 that uses the Dataplay disk which is small yet gives you a near CD capacity (500MB). One of these disk, will cost you a fraction of US$10 for every 500MB, which is one of the cheapest memory (except the bulky CD of course) available in the market now. Everything is alright with this player except that the player does not really support MP3 as it needs to convert into its own CK format when uploading into the player, which may take a bit of time off your uploading process. But, at the price of US$360, you may want to consider the Creative Zen which can gives you a 20GB hardisk space.

Conclusion, if you want a small portable player, and you don't mind the $$ price tag, this may be a good one for you.

Just to let you see how small a Dataplay disk can be.
