iriver X20 PMP loosed in Japan

We've already seen a first look preview, now we've got a date and price for delivery of iriver's X20 portable media player. Starting in March, the X20 goes hot for Japan in 2GB (¥18.800 / $157), 4GB (¥22,800 / $191), and 8GB (¥29,800 / $250) models. Not bad for a smudge-free, audio and video player with a 2.2-inch, 260k color, 320x240 display; built-in FM radio; microSD expansion; and up to 22-hours of MP3 playback off a single charge of it's removable battery -- a nice feature you'll be glad to have on long-haul flights. Still no word on a North American release date, if ever. But there's always your friendly Japanese (or Korean in this case) gadget importer ready to take your order.

Couple gadget importers have been selling the X20 for a while. I'd just buy a 4gb X20 probably the best. I purchased the X20 from warehouse123 and it only costs $159 after the recent price drops. Best of all, recent price drops have made this all-around favorite surprisingly affordable. I highly recommend this device. It's well worth the price.
