“Designing our user interfaces in Adobe Flash Lite helps us bring products to market more quickly and differentiate our media players from other offerings.”
Jack Lee
Marketing manager
iRiver, Inc.
I’ve been a long time fan of iRiver and their devices (or should I say ReignCom), having developed for the original iRiver U10 (which ran Flash Lite 1.1), Clix device, E10 and my favorite tiny player (the S10 – which to my knowledge is not Flash based, BTW).
I’m actually now playing a bit with the iRiver SPINN which is yet another neat touchscreen media player from iRiver.
I’ll post some of my stuff running on the SPINN when I get a chance here on my blog. If you check out iRiver’s site, they have many very cool portable media devices … most of which at least have a Flash user interface, if not the capability to run standalone content, even themes on some devices.
