"No internal memory and one microSD slot is installed."
Interesting looking device, seems that Sony own the company now, so I wonder if there will be any crossover?

Sony only owned them briefly several years ago. They still have an old website live for the old products they used to support, but that's more of a corporate oversight today. AIWA is presently owned and operated in the US by Joe Born. Sorry if that's a nerdy level of detail, but I happened to follow this company pretty closely a year or two ago. Either way, interesting looking player!

A single micro SD slot and a touch wheel? How quaint. That specification was obsolete 3 or 4 years ago yet manufacturers keep churning them out. Yawn.

Unfortunately, AIWA did not release this player, but it appeared under other names:

'AGPTEK H3' and 'iRULU F20'

That is, it is a product of some no name Chinese factory (perhaps 'Aigo', if 'Aigo' produces anything at all) for third-party brands.

In any case, the player looks very interesting, great functionality. It is a pity that in addition to reviews on Amazon there are no more detailed reviews.
