It's not even out yet(even in Korea). I'm going to go to Korea in a few days, so let me see if I can get a review sample or a demo from iRiver. I'm guessing few months.

Lol. I just checked and it's been up for sale since yesterday.

AK120 2nd gen is on sale now on Korean iRiver site for 160 dollars. I'm sure it will become a tad more expansive when it arrives here in the states. I'd expect 180 dollars including taxes. 
 
As some of you have expected, its price is a lot higher than the first gen.
This is already much beyond than what I can afford

I have visited Iriver's korean website and haven't found any info about purchasing. Can anyone share direct link?

That's not the new gen, that's the older version with the wrong picture.
The specs is wrong, the price is too low and it's listed as used and in stock. Very clear it's the old version.

I know. I was joking hahaha

 

[marcus49371]

just checked the price for the ak120II, 1,980,000 won, or $1940 , was hoping it to be around $1200....

1980 won is about 1700 dollars. Korean Won is a lot cheaper than American dollars. But I'm sure the government will add taxes to its price so the price would be 1900 dollars. 
I think it's crazy expensive.

why would they sell it cheaper than their older gen $1299 or $1499 titan?
It's fairly obvious they'll hike the price given all the new features available...

naive i am...I thought the ak120II was to replace the ak120 and the titan version...then just maybe the 1st gen would be a lot cheaper...
