iRiver’s tiny PMP

iRiver’s super slim Clix 2 multimedia player has hit the UK thanks to specialist retailer advancedmp3players.co.uk. The tiny PMP is packed with feature such as video playback and an FM tuner, yet still manages to be ridiculously slim measuring just 13mm at its thickest point.

The tiny tot’s main claim to fame is that it can show videos on its 2.2inch OLED screen. And the videos it shows aren’t of the usual jerky variety you find on most flash-based PMPs. Oh no, this little fella will show MPEG4 and WMV movies at a smooth 30 frames per second. Naturally it can also pump out tunes in MP3, WMA and OGG formats.

Navigating the menus should be a breeze as the player retains the D-click system used on the previous model where the front of the screen acts as a four way rocker switch for moving through the menus. There’s also a built-in FM tuner and you can even setup timed recordings so it’ll automatically grab your favourite radio shows to memory.

Another neat feature is its support for Flash content downloaded from websites. It even comes with some Flash games as standard.
