I have always adored Iriver mp3 players. Few years ago, a 1gb player cost me a bomb. Now the price is going just way out of hand!
Anyway, thought of bringing the spotlight for Mp3 players to IRiver and, yes Creative. I can't recall if Creative exhibited in the previous fair, but at least, this time, i can feel its presence.
I still think IRiver players are worth a good look since the price is ridiculously low i thought. IRiver sound is definitely impressing as its legacy products.

Creative PC Show 2009 Flyer

Price has fallen as compared to the previous fair, in just over the 3 months! Let's see what's the difference..
250GB 2.5" practically phased out from market with 32ogb and 500gb as the mainstay.
Buffalo HDD
New Drive Station 1.5TB Released

Freecom HDD
Surprisingly, Freecom prices maintained pricing as per last show in March'09

Fujitsu HDD

In fact, Fujitsu marked up by $10 bucks as per advertised. I remembered seeing slashed price at the fair, so I presume it will be lower, i hope.
Imation HDD

One of the few still selling 250gb HDD at the market.
Maxtor HDD
**Seems like the name is fading off from the market**
Ovation HDD

Ovation & Western Digital

Samsung HDD
Samsung is definitely trying to clear her 250gb goods too. Price drop is evident for its 2.5" HDD with 500gb the most, from $219 down to $179 !

Seagate HDD

I don't remember Seagate selling desktop version of its hdd the previous fair. But yes, new 2TB on the market now. Price drops for its FreeAgent Extreme & Desk, but not its 320gb 2.5" hdd
Toshiba HDD

$89 for a 250gb is the cheapest 2.5" external portable HDD for now.
Western Digital HDD

Generally price adjustments to meet new fair demands =) Anyway, 2TB product releases and WD Shareplace. Interesting.

The 5 years warranty is definitely the big draw here. And WD has elegantly changed its portable range of product, as compared to the previous fair!
I have been to the fair today and have with me a heap of flyers.
I thought it was pretty impractical of me to rescan and upload when sites such as Vrzone and Bootstrike have done such splendid job of archiving these flyers. And i really think they have covered nearly every flyer that was distributed.
What i think would be essentially useful is to regroup the flyers according to the type, ie cameras , HDD which are what most people are eyeing at also.
So please do not be surprise to see images linked from the sites mentioned above, and in fact, if you have any particular brand in mind, I highly recommend you to visit the sites too!
I do hope that i can find some flyers that have yet been covered by them. Let's see..
