I’ve always liked iRiver’s stuff, and even though the iPod Touch gets all the love these days, iRiver is still mighty popular on the other side of the Pacific and I wish I had more chances to check out there gear here in the states. This Spinn has been lurking for some time (since CES) and just really dropped today; like most iRiver stuff it supports every format under the sun, though at the moment it is limited to 8GB of storage. Interface looks pretty — and weird.

Prices are in Won and Euros, but it looks like the 8GB will run you somewhere under $300 and the 4GB about $250. I’d say that thing is easily $300 worth of sexy.
