The overall usability of the H10 is second to none.


Highs: Reliable and good looking; seamlessly works with WMP10; good battery life

Introduction

The H10 is iRiver's first micro-drive based digital audio player. Sporting a 5GB drive from Seagate, the sleek looking H10 comes in four different colors and features a color display. The H10 is priced at $279.99 which is about $30 more than the non-color Zen Micro and iPod mini. Will good looks and a color screen be enough to bring buyers over the iRiver camp? Read on to find out.

 

*Edit 2/21/05 - We have had several people inform us that the H10 is not recognized by some custom computers. We have confirmed this on several systems and have been unable to find a solution to the problem. We will most more information when we get a solution from iRiver. In the meantime, feel free to discuss any problems you are having in our forums.

 

*Edit 4/15/05 - iRiver has developed a new Firware revision which fixes many of the problems we encountered during our review process such as distortion, play list order etc. To download the latest firmware and view a list of fixes click here.
