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

iRiver H10 20 GB MP3 Player/Recorder (Blue) Reviews
My little 1-star review is my contribution to that end. I am only posting this review because a company who makes and then sells a device this horrible should be held accountable. I don't have much to add to the long list of flaws which are described in the other 1-star reviews (the freezing and paper-clip, unpredictability, horrible proprietary cable, the awful interface, etc).
The battery life isn't quite as long as they advertise but it's good enough. I installed RockBox firmware, it seems to have more options to it than the original firmware but if you don't know much about computers/mp3 players I'd stick with the original firmware, it worked fine just not as much you can play with. I bought this for my wife for christmas and we've had it for almost a month now and we haven't had a problem out of it. Overall it was a great purchase.
and you can't change the battery. i won't send mine to the landfill just yet, but as soon as it quits working on 110, c'est la vie. I gave it a rating of 2 because it held all the music i wanted, the shuffle play worked well, and was a nice music selection away from home. I now wish I had went main stream and spent the couple extra dollars and bought the Ipod at the first. 1) that in just a couple years, the battery wouldn't hold a charge and die in 45 min. 2) the paperclip (not supplied but don't leave home with out it)Every owner now knows about the papercplip to reset and has one hid someplace.
The only issue I have with this as I had with one of the other irivers is that it freezes a lot. I don't know what he did but it doesn't work anymore lol. I would still have it if my boyfriend didn't start borrowing it did something to it.
Overall, besides that I was satisfied. I know its a bit late for me to be writing this review, but I was able to store more than enough music on this mp3 player. I got this in 2005.
I like this iriver although I can't use it anymore lol. I have actually been a big fan of iriver but they went down a lot.
Its small and cute and not very bulky. I have had three irivers and this was either my second or third I don't remember but it plays pretty good.
Highly recommend this product. Comes with FM tuner so you can record from the radio. Great MP3 player.
