Engadget is reporting that a new iriver player named the e50 will be hitting stores soon. What makes this player stand out from the traditional iriver line is the amazing aluminum finish. Hopefully, we’ll get a chance to see this mp3 player in the states soon.

The slim, brushed aluminum encased PMP — which will come in 2GB, 4GB and 8GB models — boasts a 1.8-inch color LCD, an FM tuner, and gets a rumored 52-hours of audio life. We don’t have full specs yet, but the players will apparently appear in January with the 4GB costing about €69 (or about $90).
