Sony DCR SR100: hard man of camcorders

Hands-on with iRiver's new P10 media player

Crave iRiver's new P10 is a super-sexy hard disk-based PMP, similar in function to the iAMOLED. A curious point to note is the P10's 1.3-inch -- yes, 1.3-inch -- Samsung-manufactured hard disk drive. Its unusual capacity of 33GB is surely the result of...
