Its a touch early to truly understand whats going on here, but it looks as if iriver Japan (read: not the same iriver Korea youre used to) is hoping to make a splash in the burgeoning e-reader market by popping out a device of its own. Unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be much innovation going on, as were pretty certain this is simply a rebadged version of the Netronix reader we spotted about this time last year. Word has it that the unit will handle PDFs and feature a simple joystick control scheme, an SD card slot and compatibility with music files. Well be keeping a close eye out for any developments, but our gut tells us this thing wont make it far outside of Japans walls, anyway.
