Following the acquisition of Siren earlier in the year, the first DAP released by iriver under their new brand will be the DP250. Holding a simple design which is nevertheless characteristic of iriver the player presents a number of functions that very few others do in its class.

Two approaches are taken to free your music from your headphones and share it about, by having a 400mW built in speaker in addition to acting as an FM transmitter. The DP250 implements three methods of recording: voice, FM radio, and line-in. It will go on sale September 7 in white and black colors with 1GB for 9,980 Yen ($85) and 2GB 13,980 Yen ($120).

2GB isn't much but the functionality is incredible. (Yay for line-in!)

I wonder how good the speaker is...

decent battery for something that small(18 hours) but pretty expensive

I have an old Siren 4GB... the really ugly spacecraft looking one. It sounds fantastic and it has a real clean interface, so this may be something to look forward to.

Stiff price for the extra gig, but nice package & great feature set! So where to get one in North America? I hate when those Japanese sites dont even have english mail order forms. :(

The criteria for this list is simple: Be as accurate of a copy of the genuine watch as

possible without modifications or factory parts. I also spread the coverage of the list to

include as many brands as possible. While some brands are replicated more accurately than

others, I felt a broader approach was a better example.
