Engadget reviews the iRiver SPINN and writes;
“There’s so much to love about the SPINN, and a bit of an x-factor that makes us want to love it more, but when we really sit down and try to build our portable media life around this little flash-based bugger, there are too many drawbacks in actual usage to make it worth it. Your mileage may vary.”

TrustedReviews reviews the iRiver SPINN and writes;
“The Spinn is an excellent an innovative PMP, though it might struggle to find a niche between other compact players and high-end, touchscreen devices like the iPod touch. If you fancy a more versatile widescreen take on the Lplayer and Clix 2, it’s well worth a look.”
