Namie Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) iRiver H120 edit: iRiver H320 or iPod 20 GB? I've contemplated the iPod but the iRiver looks good too... Edited October 3, 2004 by Namie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I'm split as well, but cuz of some deals like student discounts that iriver doesnt do, I think I'm ending up with a ipod simply because of the price. Other than that, I am completely split between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evdawg Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Personally I'd go with the Ipod... it's just designed so much better... unless you need WMA support which the ipod doesn't have. Also, the iriver has a built in FM radio... if you need one of those it can add $$$ to buying an ipod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParaDockS Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I like my H120. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dL Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I got an iPod 20GB 4G, and it's awesome! What can I say, the iPod is slightly smaller and lighter than the iRiver, though it lacks features such as FM radio (but who needs it anyways when you have 20GB songs of music?), voice recording (well I personally never use it), OGG support (Honestly, I've just heard about it recently. .mp3 is still the way to go), and the LCD remote .. that's one thing I like about iRiver, but that's only 1 out of ... how many? I can't count. Battery life, Apple claims 12 hours, and I have never actually performed an actual test, but I suppose my battery is pretty decent, plays around 8-10 hours I believe. At least it can last for a full day of changing songs continuously, turning EQ on and off, playing games, backlight, scrolling through the library etc. by my friends -_-'' Lastly, the iPod looks much more stylish and attractive than an iRiver in my eyes. That's just my opinion. dL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TmasterT Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 i would get an iPod, cuz i mean come one, its an iPod! although if i did get an iRiver i would get http://www.iriveramerica.com/products/H320.aspx i dont see how thats not worse than the other , its the same price, and has a color display!

SOOPAH256 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 yeah, i feel that the ipod design is almost 'overdone' purely out of the mass of people that own one. thinking differently would really be considering the iriver imho (at least when deciding between the two). plus i've always been a fan of black, over white. i'd also be afraid of dropping the ipod and getting it scratched up. and i don't know about the newer generations, but all the ones tht i've seen get smudged up so quickly on the metal backing. i'm not one that likes putting covers over my gadgets. i think i'm just going to wait for the h340 to arrive in the US, and see where it goes from there.

BroChaos Veteran Posted October 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2004 iriver all the way. has features, battery life, and possibly looks, depending on what you go for. and the lcd remote is tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namie Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 (edited) Ohh, I can't believe I didn't notice the H320... and wow, it's the same price?! The menus are in color too and it lasts 16 hours? Wow. The H340 has the same features as H320 right? It's just that H340 is 40 gigs? Can the iPod import any type of files? Because I heard the iRiver can store any files. Yeah, the H320 looks good... Ah, but Apple has nice design too. Wait, but I kind of like the H120/140 design too... Hard decision...

giga Veteran Posted October 3, 2004 Veteran Share Posted October 3, 2004 Which features do you want/need the most? Battery? Specific Codecs? (OGG, AAC, Apple Lossless, Audible?) Size/weight? Radio? etc etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tang_tito Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 i have an ipod and really like it it depends on you what you want to get i think i'll still stick with the ipod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krmathis Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 We all have different needs & favorites. I bought an iPod and would not even consider the other alternative, your case might be different! ;) They have different storage capacities, audio codecs support and one might work better on a spesific OS than the other.

Xtreme $niper Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 I'm supposing you mean Solitare? lol yeah it does, with breakout and some other weird games.

Considering it's the same price, are the only difference between the H120 and H320: the design and one is in color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
