[CES 2009] iRiver lifts the curtain on its WAVE HOME Communications Device which comprises of a base station and a wireless handset that would blend into any contemporary styled pad seamlessly, although we do find that the handset is way too blocky and rectangle to be easy on the eyes. While the base unit comes in an inverted V anatomy factor to manufacture it stand on its own, the handset ought to see some curves in future revisions (if any) whether it were to keep up with the times. Specially designed to be the “ultimate all-in-one solution that provides advanced multimedia, web and phone capabilities – a comprehensive communications hub that keeps you totally connected and in control at home, at the office and in your life”, we guess that pretty much sums it all. Features of the WAVE HOME are as chases :-

• 7″ TFT touchscreen at 800 x 480 resolution


• 10/100 Base-T Ethernet connectivity


• Built-in Web browser and Web radio support


• 1.3 megapixel CMOS camera


• 2.5W stereo speakers


• USB 2.0 connectivity


• SD memory card slot


• VoIP support, SMS/MMS, widgets, phone synchronization, Flash games, music, video and photo


• Integrated FM radio

No view when that will be out nor how much it costs though. Would you get one for your home whether you’re looking for a versatile communications device?
