The iriver WAVE HOME is here (finally).



We've been seeing many different iterations of the iriver "UNIT" in the past few years. Well, iriver has finally made it into an actual product and it's now called the WAVE HOME. The device is going to be released as in parter with Korea Telecomm and is basically an IP phone. The device has two parts, a base station and a portable handset that docks into the device. The WAVE HOME is meant to be used for video conferencing, and to retrieve information like weather, traffic and news. There is also a note function that allows you to leave notes for your family members. There is one big disappointment though - the device does not separate into two parts to be used as a PMP like in the concepts. The device has not yet be released, and the only information released by iriver is on their international website (odd). I'm guessing that it will be released in Korea in the next few weeks, and we'll have more information then.
