But the H10 is about more than just music. It comes complete with a brilliant, full-color 1.8-inch TFT LCD that supports up to 260,000 colors, rendering your favorite JPEG digital photos with breathtaking clarity. (Yep, it does slide shows, too.) What's more, an integrated text viewer lets you lose yourself in paperless novels, news, essays, short stories--you name it.
A built-in microphone facilitates use as a voice recorder, with 3 quality settings to choose from. The unit also features a built-in FM tuner with a choice of automatic and manual channel-search functions, including 20 station presets for one-touch tuning to your favorites, especially handy for traffic and news updates when you're out and about. An antenna built into the supplied headset ensures crystal-clear sound quality, and a timer lets you set the H10 to record radio programs with real-time MP3 encoding at specific times of your choosing.
The H10 is PlaysForSure compatible and fully integrated with Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, which makes it even easier to enjoy your digital media. In addition to a range of options for managing digital content, you'll enjoy fast access to the H10's "digital media hall," where you can scavenge the virtual shelves of numerous online shops (including Napster To Go) in search of cool songs old and new. With the player/recorder connected to your PC, you'll be able to purchase and download songs straight into the H10. An auto-sync function synchronizes music and image files on the H10 with those stored on your PC, just like a PDA.
Icing on the cake, the H10 also a guaranteed head turner with a high-grade aluminum casing whose purist elegance is as pleasing to the eye as the touch.

This review is from: iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) (Electronics) One of the great things about this player is you do not have to install any special software; just drag a folder of MP3s over to it. The best feature is its future potential; the manufacturer brags 'firmware upgradeable' on the box and an Internet search reveals an active user forum and homebrew software available.
I actually found a use for the text file viewer-- it is a handy way to keep track of a new workout routine. Sound quality is good enough for loud rock music while mowing or working out. There are some minor annoyances in the software. The equalizer does not have enough frequency ranges and introduces some noise. There is not a clear indication when you disable the EQ and turn on the SRS feature. The picture display is cool, but no zoom and pan - even my cell phone does that. However, these are all minor bugs that could be fixed with new software. One of the advertised features is line in recording - but you don't get the line input...Read more 51 of 59 people found the following review helpful:  Avoid for two simple reasons, By This review is from: iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) (Electronics) I have been an iRiver fan for a long time but avoid this player for two reasons:
(1) Although you connect the player to your computer via USB, the player side of the connection does not have a standard USB port. Why should you care? With many other players you can charge the unit and transfer songs with a simple standard USB cable. With this one if you forget the special cable that comes with the unit (very non-standard) then you can't charge the unit or transfer songs. I have one USB cable for my phone, camera, etc. and want to use it for the player. Or, if I am out of town I can be assured someone is going to have or sell a standard USB cable. I despise the iPOD for many reasons but at least they give you a real USB connection on the player itself. (2) DRM on the US unit. When you connect the unit to your computer you don't get a simple drive letter to drag and drop MP3 files to/from the player. You must have Windows XP and you must use either...Read more 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful:  Best you can get, By This review is from: iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) (Electronics) Let me start off by saying that I have owned or used many mp3 players. Iriver h120, h320, rca lyra, ipod(not the color one), Creative zen xtra, the new samsung, and many more. The only mp3 player that beats this one is the h120, and you can't buy that one anymore. No software is needed at all. plug it into your cpu, go to my computer, and drag and drop. it took 35 minutes for me to transfer 3200 songs. has fm, fm recorder, and timer for the fm recorder. Nice if you would like to record a morning show or something while your at work. Turns on instantly, great sound quality, easy navigation. People say the albums are not in order, rename your files via musicmatch or what ever and have the track number first. this will solve that problem. You can search for your music or files with the browser function. Very nice if you like a more computer type of navigation. This is currently the best mp3 player on the market, I've only metioned a few features of this player. If your into electronics,...Read more |
