Iriver Clix – MP3 Done Mostly Right!

Okay bitches, here’s the dealio:
A while back, my slightly-retarded girlfriend bought an Iriver E10. I thought that was a pretty stupid choice. Many of you peopleĀ - and let’s collectively refer to you as “imbeciles” – disagreed! The nerve!

Saints Row Demo Review
