Dicple D5 by iriver

So, I was looking for a decently priced Dicple D5 for some time, which is an electronic dictionary that can handle playing MP3, MP4 and FM Radio. The device just arrived, and am loving it. It is very tiny, it fits in almost any pocket. It has a nice keyboard and a metal casing.

It is made by the Korean maker, iriver famous for their MP3 players.

I wish I could somehow get more things on this device. Only if it had Windows CE on it...

I remember iriver kit. The Korean factories were excellent -- I still have my Umid M1 mbook.

This is my first time buying Korean electronics. iriver was popular among my Korean friends, the MP3 players. They looked very futuristic at that time.

Yeah, Korean companies now have more presence worldwide as a brand in consumer electronics like smartphones. Japan needs to catch up...

M1 is a very nice device! I envy you.

512mb RAM and not the best battery life, but the M1 may still be the smallest laptop, commercial-wise, excluding 3D-printed kit.

Looks a lot like the Sharp Brain - which does have CE (6) on it.

Yeah, I also have a white Sharp Brain I bought several years ago. Too afraid to make it into Windows CE though I think the size of the Dicple is much smaller than the Sharp Brain though.

Yeah, NTT Docomo’s F-07C is a Windows 7 smartphone, although it is very tiny.

This link has some UMPCs from 2007, similar to the M1 era.
