$344 for a 5 gig player is way overpriced. You can get a brand new 20GB iPod for $279 off of apples website, and you can probably get an iPod Photo 40GB for around $344 off of eBay or $369 new in apples store. Everyone says how expensive Apples products are, but their competitors are getting even worse.

Why don't you do some research? H10 costs $279 for 5GB.

And iPod Photo 40gb is $499, not $369, and iPod 4G 20gb is $299, not $279.

Here, I'm talking about official price for both iRiver and Apple.

Looks sweet ...

If its definitely smaller than the ipod mini ... if it supports Asian language display (Simp Chinese, Trad Chinese, Korean, Japanese) I'll consider it ...

Only thing that can stop me ... is the price (in Australia) ...

well it is slightly bigger than ipod mini in everyway(lol this makes it sound bad)

by like 0.1 or 0.2 inches and it does definitely support MANY languages such as chinese, korean, japanese, hebrew, french, german, russian, english, etc...

The price here is $279.99 and compared to ipod mini, it's only $20 more expensive.

If I hear anything about it on Australia, i'll give you a note :cool:

I'm sure it supports Asian language, because it's from Korean company. :p

taken from that review...

Cons

* Alphabetical Music Organization (Significant Disability!)

* No On The Fly Delete

* U.S./U.K. versions not UMS Compliant

* Accessories Sold Seperately

* No Firmware Upgrade Option on the Player(U.S./U.K. versions only) will require a seperate executable to be released by iRiver in order to upgrade firmware on these units

hmmm... i am not a big fan of the alphabetical music orgainization or the no firmware upgrade option. How good is iRiver @ releasing fw upgrades?

There's a few pictures of mine - sorry, they're not very good quality but my cam isn't really any good.

The only trouble I'm having with mine at the moment is that it can't play tracks in order of tracknumber (VERY annoying, I had to go through my whole mp3 collection and rename the titles with 01, 02, 03 etc at the beginning)

The blue one is very nice though - at first I wanted red, but to be honest when I had them both in hand the blue one looked nicer IMO. The Sennheiser headphones are good too - not the best, but better than generic crappy ones (and iPod ones).

Haha. Good luck with your new player and hope you find an easier way to solve that problem.

I'm satisfied with my Zen Micro so in 2 or 3 years I will get a new one.

Also I heard the that bundled earbuds for H10 is Sennheiser MX500. Comparing reviews between that and the bundle earbuds for ZM, I would actually go with the bundle ones.

firmware... iRiver... :rolleyes:

They make great hardware, but their firmware support have gone downhill since the H120.

I don't think so.

Unlike other bug-fixing-only companies, iRiver has been known for making their music player even more capable in the future via firmware.

See how H3xx can play video now.

Yeah, I'm guessing soon iRiver will release a firmware for H10 that enables it to play video files.

I really doubt it.

They have bugs and missing features to solve, and they promised that it will support more music format with firmware upgrade.

They better had release better firmware - another problem I'm now having is that the LCD stays on (no backlight) when it is supposed to be turned off. Also, when trying to play certain songs it plays either a completely different song instead (every time, not just sometimes) or it skips a few tracks on the album and plays that track instead.

Oh, and random songs are disappearing and re-appearing from the menu.

Not good. I'd advise against buying one until they sort this mess out.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.

    • Hello, From looking at the screen shots in your motherboard's manual at https://endownload.colorful.cn/EnDownload/MotherBroard/2022/Intel 600/Manual/Intel 600 Series BIOS English/Intel 600 Series BIOS User Guide.pdf, you go to the ADVANCED option at the top of the BIOS (UEFI) menu, then select SECURITY in the list of options on the left.  From there  you can enable and set the Secure Boot mode.
