misticriver has a new look and some new features to make navigating the site a little easier. I've introduced a tabbed forum homepage to simplify the browsing process (see photo) and make things a little more organized. You'll also notice the "iTrader" rating system back in place in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum. This is an ebay style rating system which hopefully will assist buyers and sellers who utilize the forum for buying/selling.

Also new to misticriver is an expanded offering of forums tailored to todays hot subject of smartphones and mobile internet devices. Many of you out there have moved away from solely carrying MP3 players and now use converged devices. Now you have a place for discussion.

As always, any hints, tips and suggestions are welcome.

A great pictorial review of iriver's newest flagship in Korea, the SmartHD. A nice looking player featuring up to 16GB of flash memory, a 3.5" HVGA screen, FLAC/OGG/APE audio support, AVI/MKV/WMV/MP4/MPG video support, FM Tuner and built-in Wifi. It is available now in Korea ranging in price from approx. $200US for the 8GB "no frills" version, to approx. $305US for a 16GB, Wifi and DMB packing model.

Another day, another Dicple from iriver. Not sure the U.S. will ever see it or really ever want it but it's out now in Korea. Some good specs: up to 16GB storage, microSD expansion, FLAC, APE, MKV and 720p output, etc... Can be yours for approx. $350US (16GB version)

Thanks Engadget and Pocketables

Buy.com is offering the iriver LPlayer 4GB for $39.99 with Free Shipping. Your only color choice is black and it ships from Tiger Direct. Still not a bad price for a small unit that will get the job done.

A couple of weeks ago, us Nexus One owners were treated to the HTC Desire ROM. The Desire is yet to be released, however the ROM, which includes Flash 10.1 has been made available. There are a few ROM "cookers" out there using this ROM and modding it. Just recently i broke down and put it on my Nexus One and having Flash on a mobile phone truly rocks!
