iriver is finally coming out with something to compete with the iPod. The article below is from Shiny Shiny. Visit their link to see the whole article.

iriver's press release for its new T20 series of flash music players makes a big song and dance out of the fact that its memory stick-style flash players come with a screen built in - unlike a certain un-named rival (who could it be?). The players are available in either 512MB or 1GB capacities and support MP3, WMA, ASF and Ogg Vorbis file formats. There's a line in for real time MP3 encoding, a microphone for recording voice notes and an alarm clock. And, of course, there's that screen - a four-line, blue-backlit LCD display.

The USB connector is tucked away under the lid, and you'll get 14 hours of music play back. It weighs more than the iPod shuffle (30g to the shuffle's 22g) and while far squatter, is also chunkier, measuring 58 x 27 x 14mm. You'll get 14 hours of battery life compared to the 12 hours quoted by Apple for the shuffle. The 1GB light gold version is set at £132 while the red 512 MB version will be £99 when they hit the stores in July - so pricier than the shuffles. [Article via Shiny Shiny]
