Amazon.com Product Description
The iRiver 20 GB model H10 is the perfect portable digital player/recorder for true music and audio enthusiasts. Hardly bigger than a deck of cards, its 1.8-inch hard drive has space for over 5,000 songs (128 kbps MP3, 4 minutes per song) or more than 330 hours of music. Yet the whole player measures just 2.4 x 4 inches (W x H) and less than an inch deep. Sensibly arranged controls--including an intuitive central touchpad--make it child's play to setup and use, and an internal battery delivers up to 16 hours of non-stop music between charges. 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. What's in the Box

Summary: Overall, pretty solid. 2006-09-12
Comment: I got the iRiver h10 about three weeks ago. Overall, I'm loving it.
The controls look really weird at first, and are a bit clunky to get used to. But after a few minutes of playing with it, they're astonishingly intuitive. I tried using the controls with my left and right hands; no difficulties there.
The screen looks great. This would mean more to me personally if I needed to see anything on there, but it's nice to know that I have that option and is probably a pro for a lot of people. Sound quality is very, very good. I used the earbuds the player comes with for a while, and while not astonishing, they're good. There are something like 30 preset EQs. I think that's kind of excessive, but whatever.
It comes with a somewhat thick rubbery skin that has a belt clip attached to it; I put that on right away. Some people have complained about control issues with it on, but I haven't had any.
Now for the few drawbacks:
1. The h10 likes to freeze. It's not a problem when that happens, you just have to stick a paperclip in to the reset hole and it's good as new, but it's rather irritating sometimes. This was more of a problem in the beginning, but then again I may have been doing something really stupid with it. This is only my second mp3 player; my first was a 512mb flash player (from iRiver) that was completely different.
2. Organizing. It says the player will only recognize tracks put on it using Windows Media Player. I encountered some difficulties with this. First of all, WMP wanted to sync _all_ my files to the player, which made some problems. Second, you can't do anything to the files except play them unless you're connected to a computer. I'm going to see if the iRiver Music Manager program will work; that program is very nice and intuitive. Drag and drop, rename files without a problem, organize easily. If it does, I would strongly recommend downloading it off of iRiver's website.
3. Can't delete tracks off the player unless you're connected. I sort of addressed that above but it is rather annoying.
So the iRiver h10 20 GB mp3 player gets 85/100. The only real cons are the software.

Summary: erratic service 2005-10-18
Comment: I bought the unit because I wanted recording and fm capability. The H10 is beautiful and it looks very solidly made, much stronger than Ipods. However, it frozed up and when I finally found out how to unfreeze it from the web, all information on it was gone. The telephone support is only mon-fri to 5pm. I sent several emails to the company but I am still to get a response.

Summary: Great product - great customer service. 2005-10-01
Comment: I have had my Iriver H120 for almost a year now and I absolutely love the thing. I have friends who own IPods and every one of them has something about my H120 that they wish their IPod would be able to do. Like voice recording. The options on the H120 are really really good. I've recorded concerts (using a external booster mic) and received decent results, better than what you'd expect using a hand-held MP3 player to record a concert.
Plus the internal mic is great for class and most situations where you'd need to record quickly. Also, I've had two units die on me (not such a great thing, really) but the amazing thing is that both times, Iriver simply sent me a new unit without any hassle or such. I just emailed them with what happened, a couple of days later I get a response, then an hour later I get an RMA approval and instructions, then two days later I receive the new unit even before I've sent off the defective unit. I can't complain about that!
I definately recommend this product. The sound quality is exceptional - however, I do recommend purchasing new headphones and IT doesn't have all of the accessories that an Ipod has..so that is something to consider.
But if faced with the choice, I'd choose Iriver again.
Enjoy.

Summary: So far so good 2005-09-26
Comment: So I've only had this H10 for about 1 month, but so far I am very impressed. The sound quality is fantastic, even with the cheep earbuds that they send you. Downloading the music is excessively easy. When I got the H10 all that I had to do was install WMP v10, plug in my H10, and in less than 1 hour all of my music was synchronized onto my player.
The radio feature, which is the main reason I bought this over an ipod, is okay. The reception is decent, as long as you arent in some big building like a gym, unfortunately. That being said, it works great when I am walking around outside, and gets all but 1 of the stations I like.
I havent tried many of the other features, except I'd like to say that the picture quality on the image viewer is rather good. Also, I'm impressed that I can upload entire text files onto it and read them.
If you purcahse this player, make certain to charge it immediately after you get it. Also, never run the battery down to empty, this appears to have caused problems for others.
I can't attest to this products durability, since I've only had it for one month. Just don't drop it, step on it, sit on it, or pour liquids on it and it seems not to break.
Overall, my satisfaction level is very high. I can definitely recommend this product.
