Advantages: Nice design, shape

Disadvantages: Really slow to respond

When you first open the box and pick up this piece of sophisticated electronics, you are over whelmed with emotions. You are not sure what do, turn it or look at the device all over. You turn it on all the lights display, wow impressive you say. Work you way thought the navigation menu, looking at every folder within the menu system.

Right. You load on some songs and some photos.

You listen to the first song, it takes ages to load, and the display is nothing special once you think about. It takes even longer to load the photos up. The touch sensitive pad takes a while to respond to your touch. Photos take up loads of memory so you want to avoid putting them on to show your mates.

Good things, the battery life is really good 12hrs. It's really compact and so can fit in your pocket with out it poking out. You can sync it to you PC. They supply the software for this. It is good, if you can get it to work. I couldn't get it to work. It has a voice recorder, so can be used as a dictator phone. Has a clock and alarm. Has all your standard modes: repeat, shuffle, intro. The battery is replaceable which is good because most HD mp3 players don't have this. Ipod is one where you can replace the battery.

The sound quality is ok, if you are using their standard speakers, but buying a better pair can improve your listening pleasure. In terms of appearance the H10 proves that iRiver has come a long way with regards to design. Earlier iRiver players were hard to love for their looks, clumsy design. So on a plus side this model does win this round hands down. This device uses drag and drop to put music and photos onto the player. This makes life really easy for you. Just select the file and dropped it in the player icon (when connected to the PC)

above all it's an ok player. I would really recommend it. There are much better ones on the market. Like the Sony model or the Zen creative.
