Remember iRiver’s all-touchscreen phone we saw at the CES? Well, it’s coming not this but next year, with first mobile operator to carry it being South Korea’s KT.

Apparently, the iRiver Wave will start selling on March 9th and will come with such specs as 3-inch 480×272 (or that’s 400×272?) pixels touchscreen, WiFi, FM radio, 4GB of internal memory that is further expandable with memory cards. Pre-installed apps include media player, ebook reader, electronic dictionary… and the device can also sing along Bugs Music Service. As for the size, the Wave measures 110.5×52.5×15.5 mm and has a weight of 103 grams.

And that’s about all we know at this stage. Guess we’ll have more details after CES, when we expect to learn about iRiver’s plans for the western hemisphere. Stay tuned…
