I never dealt with Factory Direct MIR myself... But I know a person who has bought items there and got all the MIRs... So I guess it is not that bad. Actually faster than some manufacturer's MIR...

aww they raised the price... it was 129$ yesterday..

Anyone find any reviews for this player? I have another iriver (the long one) and plays great, but you always have to careful with stuff from factory direct...

Actually since it's brand new I wouldn't worry too much. Here's the specs from the website:

doesn't seem to have a memory expansion slot

deal breaker for me.

seems like an okay deal. Not sure if Factory Direct is reliable though.

$99 for a 512mb player is definitely a good deal. iRiver makes pretty high quality stuff. The player looks nice too. I'd definitely go for this if I didn't have one already.

Does anyone know how long these internal lith-ion batteries will last?
I'm wondering if i should go with one that needs a AAA or AA battery and just use the NiMh rechargable ones.

I would hate to have this product die within one year, probably would need to buy a new player as you cant replace the battery.

Any thoughts?

$140 before rebate is a deal breaker for me...

darn if that 256mb was 10$ cheaper i would have bought it....

because i bought a 256mb player a month ago...for $65 i would have exchanged it

It's IRIVER + LTPS Color Screen + 40 Hrs Battery + bmp, txt + OGG, MP3, WMA + PlayList + Lyric + Programmable FM recording + Voice Recording + Line-In Recording up to 320 Kbps + Firmware support + USB 2.0 + all the accessories ...

I also read somewhere that it comes with MX400 earbud and has optical line-in ...

Aren't you guys asking too much for $100 (or $140) ?
