if i were you id still go for the iriver, you say all that now, but once you get an mp3, and have used it for a while you will want more!......

I had this problem when i first brought a PDA, i went for a lower end palm, and evenually had to get another a year down the line, cos i found that as time went along i wanted to do more, and i found sites that allowed me to do more with it.................

just becareful and think twice!! otherwise you MIGHT regret wasting your money! :)

Im standing between the iPod Photo 20Gb and the H10 2Gb. In Sweden the H10 hasn't arrived yet and while waiting I've looked after reviews all over the internet. in swe the iPod cost about 340$ which is a pretty good price for an mp3 with Photo BUT without voice-rec and radio. The iriver will cost about 440$ which i think is a little bit to much for getting a radio and a voice-rec.

I know that the iriver has better(18mW, iPod has about 12-14mW) sound but who cares, the difference is barely knownable(bad english). It's the headphones or earbuds that will make most difference. Non of the original earbuds are  good but if you are very strict about the sound you would had a good pair of headphones before you even had bought the player. I think its pretty even about that. If you want absolute quality sound its the headphones you should changes.

I got some friends that have the iPod and they hasn't have any problems without that one of them's got stolen. The battery time is not as good as the irivers but who listens to music for 10-15 hours a day anyway. Dont you sleep out there

!?!

About the H10. I been reading alot about the 5 and 20gb model and i keep seeing that many has a problem with delay between the tracks that can be up to 10sec. And i don't know if i could take that + that it is a lot more expensive, at least in Sweden.

The iPod looks better than the iriver even if the iriver is really nice too so in my case i think it will be the iPod because of the price and the trackdelay on the iriver.

I know that the iriver is a bit better in the most parts but i dont think its worth it.

I've actually found a way to cut down the delay by a lot. I've arranged all my music in folders (thanks to iTunes for doing it for me :p)

I want one of these quite bad. But since I am used to the iRiver H140 I feel that 20 gb is a bit on the small side. Got used to be able to carry my whole collection with me. And I also tend to use it as a portable harddrive for backup and transfer.

With only 20 gb that would be harder. But the looks,size and colorscreen aint enough to get it I guess. Have to wait to the H140 dies which I hope wont happen soon :p

I've got the old hp-120 model and I've considered selling it to get one of these. Better screen,better case and ability to view text are the things that I like. I also dig the design and interface better...I got to play around with it at a store recently. Pulled out my mp3 player in the store so I could compare sizes right there, it was nice.

This model is slightly thinner and a decent bit shorter.

However, if I can view text files on my older iRiver with Rockbox or some ****, I think I'd just do that instead.

I get about 20 hours on my charge. I've only had my battery be drained one time. No, I don't listen to my mp3 player 20 hours a day (Though I do keep music playing 24/7 in my room, car, work etc..just not always on my iriver :p ), it is nice to be able to use the player in my car for a week, see the battery gettin low, then charge it while I sleep that night.

I've got the iRiver H10 20GB myself. Love it though I find the scroll thing a bit cumbersome sometimes. My brother just got the iPod nano. I really like the scroll feature on that. It moves much faster. If only the scroll thing for iRiver moved faster I'd be very happy.

    • I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.
    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
