iRiver Vanilla and iRiver TAB spotted

iRiver might not be that huge outside of Korea, but they certainly have enough domestic momentum going for the company back home, with someone having managed to snag a couple of images for iRiver’s maiden Android-powered smartphone, the I-L1 (or iRiver Vanilla if that’s far more memorable), and the new Android-powered tablet known as the iRiver TAB, or ILT-MX100 if you so prefer model numbers.

The iRiver Vanilla will sport a 3.5” WVGA LCD display which is smaller than what most smartphones do have these days, while the 600MHz/800MHz CPU isn’t exactly a modern speed demon, alongside Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS navigation and DMB support to clearly place this in the mid-range segment. 

As for the iRiver TAB, this model will take on the 7″ form factor alongside 3G connectivity, DMB support, a 5-megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity and 16GB of internal memory – too bad it too, runs on Android 2.2 Froyo. Hopefully a software update will come soon. No idea on pricing, but it seems that they will be released sooner rather than later.
