iriver Smart HD touchscreen PMP looks rather natty

Korean media player whizzes iriver have released details of their Smart HD touchscreen PMP, which looks rather a dandy affair to our eyes.

The Smart HD – previously seen lurking under the codename “K1″ – is a slick looking PMP packing a ton of features including a FM tuner/recorder, voice recorder and a 3.5” touchscreen (480 x 320 resolution, 16M colours) interface.

The Smart HD looks set to be released in four different versions, starting at the frill-reduced basic number up to the DMB tuner and Wi-Fi-totin’ premium model.

There’s support for a veritable cornucopia of audio/video file formats and, rather more surprisingly, support for work related documents like PDF, DOC and XLS.

Storage capacity comes in 8 or 16GB flavours backed by a microSD slot, with battery life pegged at 18 hours for audio and 6 hours for video.

Developers will also be given the opportunity to design their own themes and widget, courtesy of a SDK from iriver.

There’s no sign of an official release date being unveiled quite yet, but prices are expected to hover around the $200 – $300 mark, depending on the storage capacity and model.
