iRiver H320 VS iAudio X5

[Enrickey]

My friend uses iriverter for his X5 too, great program, just click three buttons and you're on your way to watching the movie.

And yes, the screen resolution on the iAudio is lower than that of the iRiver, but the iRiver only plays back video at 10fps which is slightly choppy, compared to the iAudio which plays back video at 15 fps which, I can't really see the difference between full motion when it is constant. (I think the threshold between choppy and smooth is somewhere around 12fps for me)

i think this cowon iaudio x5 will look good against all the people i know with hard-drive players (ALL iPods)

Although iRiver H320 is an amazing music player, it's slightly outdated and a "brick"

those descriptions are overly-exaggerated.

for example, the h320 is a smidge (and therefore is unnoticable) longer than the ipod and is a little thicker than it. it is important to consider the fact that the plethore of features packed into the h320 by far, outweighs its larger size.

i own both players, and here are my beliefs:

h320 has bolder colour, plays avi's with better colour although slower. gui looks a lot nicer than the x5's. easier to control, and is driverless.

x5 - looks better as a player, is thinner. you can set a wallpaper from an image file, it has faster fps when playing videos. the control takes a while to get used to (i don't like joysticks, so it may be a personal preference)

both sound excellent.
