When you first purchased your portable music player a few years ago, it was a small device that could hold loads of music and podcasts. Perhaps you spent a little more and and opted for one that could also play videos. In 2009, you have even more features to play with on this indispensable device, especially if you choose the SPINN MP4 Player from iriver.
The SPINN MP4 Player not only holds your entire library of tunes – up to 2,000 songs – but also plays up to 40 hours of video, is an FM radio, picture viewer, voice recorder and is available in 4GB and 8GB versions. You can also play Adobe Flash games of 1MB or less with crisp, detailed images. And if you're tired of untangling wires to your ear buds, the SPINN MP4 has wireless headset support over Bluetooth 2.0. The feature that makes the SPINN extraordinary is the use of the new SPINN System Technology. You can navigate through each screen and function of this sleek, silver music player via a spindle interface (scroll wheel) that spins, or by using the 3.3" QVGA AMOLED touch screen on the device.
