For a company that pretty much just makes PMPs, iriver manages to pull off an incredible quantity of surprising product moves and design choices. Its new Dicple D35 and D31, for instance, square off any of the sexiness and sleekitude of previous iterations, like 2007’s D5. The devices seem to be getting inexplicably thicker, the screen bezel has become more prominent, and iriver just doesn’t seem to care. However, the software has certainly come a long way from those electronic dictionary days, with widgets, advanced multimedia features (like DMB and radio recording), handwriting recognition and PIM functions — all of which we have little idea as to the functionality, since the spec list is in Korean, and we don’t imagine iriver plans on shipping this sort of stuff to the States any time soon. Still, we can dream.
