Crave of CNet UK gets up close and personal with iRiver’s new PMP baby, the Spinn. We reported about its existence some time ago, and based on the initial impression the Spinn has left on the guys at Crave, it makes me even wonder more how such an astounding device isn’t available in more countries, especially the Philippines.

The AMOLED display is truly of its more outstanding features, but to hear that it also has amazing sound quality, well, that just icing on the cake. Aside from the touch screen, you can also navigate through the various menus through a mechanical scroll wheel cleverly disguised into the design. Though their opinion with this alternative control system is divided, at least the option is there for those who don’t want to spoil its brilliant display with fingerprints and smudges.

Despite its overwhelming appeal, it does have its share of shortcomings. AAC is not supported, and even though it’s supposed to support Adobe Flash, they were only able to successful load one flash game.

Nevertheless, the numerous praises they gave the Spinn is enough to intrigue me. So now, I’m hoping (against all odds) that it might see the light of day in Manila. Any else who shares the same sentiment?
