iRiver's G10: Gaming Handheld

[Paco]

iRiver's are some of the best reviewed MP3 players on the market, some being touted as having higher quality playback than iPods.

We'll know more at CES just how far they plan to go with this thing. I'd be happy if all it did was allow emulation, or had some type of service like gametap that simply allowed the player to download games.

There is alot of potential in the MP3 and cell phone market for game integration. I don't think we'll see developers making RPG type games or high-production racing games, more like the content you'd find on Yahoo! Games. Something quick and simple. I know I'd buy it. I'd rather carry around a MP3 player that I can watch tv shows or videos on, and play a quick puzzle game or something similar, than a sole game device. That's why I was a little enthusiastic about the prospect of it, and what it may bring.
