It may be the world's smallest MP3 player, but it is definitely the world's sexiest. The Iriver S10 features a 1.5†OLED display, 8 hours of battery life, and 2gb of storage. However, the highlight is that it weighs just 17.5g.
Implications - In fact, the Iriver S10 is so small and inconspicuous that it could be easily worn in class, at work or (if you're religious) even at church! It truly is remarkable that 2GB of storage can be fitted on to such a tiny device, but it also raises the hope that even more impressive storage space might be looming in the not too distant future. Oh, brave new world!
