The closer we get to the release of the iRiver PMP-120 (sometime this June or July) the more details are becoming available. IGN has a first take, but the iRiver worldwide site has just posted the specifications (subject to change) for the PMP line. If all the details are true, iRiver’s PMP-100 series “Personal Multimedia Players” (running Linux) will kick any Microsoft OS based “Portable Media Center” device out of the water. Reason being, Microsoft PMC devices can only play Microsoft media codecs like WMA, WMV and standard WAV and AVI files, but general portable media players, like this one based on Linux, can play a larger variety of digital formats, thus giving you more bang for your buck without restrictions.
