The moment I set eyes on iRiver's latest device, the D27, I decided that I didn't want to know what it does. That was because whatever purpose it actually serves, it would not live up to the perfect dream UMPC I imagine it should be.
The keyboard is compact but complete, with tactile, well-shaped keys;
and yet the device itself is no larger than needed. There is no fat battery sticking out like a spare tire, and the screen, while small, is generous and colorful. "Please be a kind of mini word-processing CE
device, with web browsing and EVDO," I thought. "Please, God, Satan,
Shatner, whomever has the power... make it be."
Alas, it is a portable Korean dictionary.
