Music and video content from Japanese satellite content provider, Mobile USEN, will make its way onto iriver’s U: MO PMP by the end of the month, but it will not be available for purchase. The player can be rented for ¥2200 ($18), and Mobile USEN content for an extra ¥980 ($8).
The body of the device appears to be identical to the DMB-enabled B20, and shares the same 2.4-inch display (with 320 x 240 pixels and 260k colors), D-click system, arrangement of tactile buttons, file formats (MP3, WMA, OGG Vorbis, WMV, and MPEG-4), and black and white colors. As more emphasis is placed on the availability of eight video and 40 music channels (both types are recordable), the U: MO will only have a 1GB capacity. Expansion is offered through a MicroSD slot and the comparatively large antenna can be removed to reduce the size.
