$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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
