Second Generation
iriver previewed several new players at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, including smaller versions of the clix (now known as the S10), a screenless one (now branded as the S7), and a new version of the iriver clix. In April 2007, the second generation of the player was released in 2GB and 4GB, and an 8GB player was released on 11 July 2007 (only in South Korea). This version is much thinner, and its screen is now in AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode), which enables unlimited viewing angles.
The 2nd generation clix has been received well by most reviewers. CNET's editorial review, which gave the player an Editor's Choice award, praised its "unique and intuitive interface and stellar audio quality". PC Magazine stated that the player had "very good audio and photo quality, long battery life, and a host of extras.". However, commonly mentioned disadvantages included a lack of included video conversion software, although it is now available for download via iriver America.
The free, Java-based iriverter program can convert most video formats into playable files using the firmware's unofficial support of the XviD 1.1.0 codec.

Famous quotes containing the word generation:
“The women of my mother’s generation had, in the main, only one decision to make about their lives: who they would marry. From that, so much else followed: where they would live, in what sort of conditions, whether they would be happy or sad or, so often, a bit of both. There were roles and there were rules.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
“The next generation of women will enter a world in which they are perceived to have more opportunities for creating fulfilling lives than women have ever had before.”
—Elizabeth Debold (20th century)
