iriver announces SPINN shipment date, pricing, and pre-ordering info

Remember the SPINN that iriver has been teasing us with since CES? Well, iriver has finally released some information about the Spinn, most notably that it will be available in the United States by October 3rd for under $300.

First, let’s recap what the SPINN actually is. Basically it’s a PMP with 4GB or 8GB capacities with a unique design. Unfortunately for us in the States, the Korean version of the SPINN comes with a 16GB capacity! Otherwise, they all come with the same specs, 3.2 inch OLED touch screen with a 480 x 372 resolution. In addition, it comes with a FM tuner, DMB receiver, supports MP3, MP4, FLAC, WMA, WMV, APE, and OGG.

Other features include Flash 2.0 gaming support, integrated dictionary, and Bluetooth connectivity. The most interesting part of the SPINN is its unique design, particularly its side dial. With this dial, you simply have to spin it and it will navigate through songs, files, or anything else. This user interface has a lot of potential.

Now, if you can’t wait until October 3rd, you can pre-order a SPINN right now. The 4GB version will cost you $250 and the 8GB is set to cost $290.
