According to MysticRiver.net iRiver announced their latest portable PMP, a hard drive based player that plays video and music from its 6GB mini-drive. The E10 has many of the usual features such as FM tuner, voice recorder, and image viewer. The E10 also has an unusual feature in the form of an infrared port so the player can be used as a TV remote.

The unit sports a 1.5" TFT display fit inside a 45mm×96mm×14mm body. Another detail that seems a bit suspect to us is the claim that the E10 will get 32 hours off of its Li polymer batteries. 32 hours is excellent for a flash player, but an HDD portable? I have my doubts, but we'll just have to wait and see. The iRiver E10 will hit the Korean market April 28 and should find its way to the US by summer. MysticRiver.net speculates that the unit will retail in the states for somewhere between $199 and $250.
