The iRiver iFP-800 series packs all of the best digital audio functionality in a small, durable package that is perfect for the active athlete.
By taking a skip-free player, adding high quality 90dB sound quality (no need for an amplifier) and FM tuning, the iRiver audio system gives runners and sports enthusiasts a light weight package that can endure a beating.
With up to 40 hours on one AA battery, there is no reason you can't take the device out into the woods for a long hike or a camping trip with no worries of needing a new battery for almost two days of continuous play.
There are four iRiver iFP-800 series models available for purchase. Every model in the line gives you the the best battery power times available on the market, high speed USB 2.0 transfers, access to up to 400 FM radio stations depending on where you are located as well as the guarantee that your music will sound crystal clear.
Even the FM tuner is rated for 60dB of S/N ratio, which is more than what other systems guarantee for sound quality. Each system can make use of WMA, MP3 and ASF music content files, and can record to MP3 for voice recorded conversations and notes to yourself.
The primary difference between the four iRiver iFP-800 series models are color, price and data storage space. The high end model, the iFP-899 will cost you roughly $179 and sports a handsome black and dark red casing. It can store up to 1 gb of music, giving you up to 34 hours of music that has been encoded with Windows Media Player at 64kbs.
The other models are the iFP-895, iFP-890 and the iFP-880. These models cost, respectively, $129, $99 and $79 and have 512 megs of memory, 256 megs of memory and 128 megs of memory. They come in black and silver, black and red, and black and blue casings.
In order to be able to use the iFP-800 series, you will need a computer system that has USB 2.0 support. If you are not certain if your system will run the iFP-800 series, you should contact iRiver for assistance.
