New information on iRiver U10


Recommended Posts

(I found this info at CDPkorea.com)

New pictures of U10 has been released, and I must say I'm even more tempted to get my hands on this pretty little thing!

The picture reveals that the screen supports both horizontal and vertical mode, and I expect this feature to be particularly helpful when viewing picture with this.

Way to go iRiver!

I'm considering buying this player, but only 1GB? For the price that iIrver is offering the U10 i get a Creative Zen Micro with at least 4 GB.

The thing is that they are offering a really nice dock with built-in speaker and remote control. But what is to control with only 1Gb of your precius MP3 Collection at hand...

With the docking station the U10 is the most sexy Alarm Clock i've seen though. Sounds crazy but thats one of the main reasons i am still considering this player

I remember hearing they're making an 8gb version.

I'm definitely getting the 1Gb. Just because it looks so cool.

Not because I need an mp3 player (I have a sony hd3).

I just hope this is crackable, so it could be used as an external monitor for my PC. I could make it play visualizations or something. Room decoration, you know?

Looks sweet. My only concern is battery life with such a large color screen.

Actually, the battery life of U10 is much better than ordinary PMP; I think it has lot to do with the fact that flash drive is in it instead of hard drive.

It's supposed to be able to play MP3 for 20 hours, and I'm guessing the video performance is still being fine-tuned.

And I agree with EvErSoR, this will be the coolest alarm clock ever!

do you really need more than 1GB? I got a 512MB SD card in my PDA with MP3s and other stuff and stull only using like 350MB. 1GB should be plenty. You just need to fill it with the amount of media to last as long as the battery.

But this thing looks sweet tho! I'm thinking even tho i got my PDA with MP3s i'll prolly wanna get this thing!

IRiver Unveils Flashy MP3 Players

New models include a touch-screen operated model, and a flash-based version of the H10.

Martyn Williams, IDG News Service

Monday, June 20, 2005

Reigncom, the company behind IRiver-brand digital music players, has shown four new flash-memory based music players ahead of this week's SEK exhibition in Seoul.

 

 

 

Among them is an addition to its H10 product line and the U10, a multimedia player which is operated through a touchscreen display panel.

The U10 marks a design step from other IRiver players in that it's entirely operated via a pressure-sensitive front panel.. It has a 2.2-inch QVGA (320 pixel by 240 pixel) landscape-oriented screen that takes up the majority of the front of the player. Menu choices are positioned in the middle of each side of the display so they are within reach of the user's thumbs while the player is held. The U10 plays MP3, Windows Media Audio, ASF and Ogg Vorbis format audio files and MPEG4 video files.

Other features include an FM radio, voice recording, and photo album. Two versions will be available: a 512MB version will cost $283 and a 1GB version will cost $335. A launch schedule has yet to be disclosed for the player.

    • Still 3x what it should cost. So, it seems the trick is to increase price by 6x so that a reduction in price back to 4x looks like a steal. "You savvy shoppers win again!" I'm glad I'm not in a desperate spot to actually even need this overpriced crap. Hopefully, it comes back down by the time for when (or if) I ever do.
    • Although AI is great and has it's use cases they likely have massively overhyped it and it has not delivered as per their expectations. I fully expect them to start saying the same things again when it does get to a certain level of intelligence!
    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print by Usama Jawad A few days ago, Microsoft released Windows 11 Experimental build 26300.8553, bringing a ton of enhancements such as Start menu customization, search improvements, Taskbar polish, and other minor UI tweaks. Another relatively major enhancement snuck deep within the change log was related to upgrades to the Windows printing experience. Now, Microsoft has shared more details about these benefits. For starters, Microsoft has renamed its Modern Print Platform to Windows Ready Print. The company believes that this name highlights its shift in strategy, which now focuses on modernizing, securing, and streamlining the printing experience for Windows devices. Some of the upgrades present in Windows Ready Print have already been seeded to customers and partners. This includes ending support for third-party printer drivers via Windows Update and transitioning towards the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) and the native Windows IPP printer driver. In line with these changes, new printer installations will default to Windows Ready Print on eligible devices starting from July 2026. However, Microsoft recognizes that not all environments will be able to migrate to this platform immediately, so it will allow users to choose between installing the printer via Windows Ready Print or the traditional OEM process. Users will be able to toggle this configuration through Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Printers & Scanners > Printer preferences. This control applies only to new printer installations, and its functionality can also be modified via Group Policy as follows: Launch Group Policy Editor Navigate to Local Computer Policy -> Administrative Templates -> Printers Find and select 'Configure Windows Ready Print driver ranking' -> double click to open it Select 'Enabled' (if you wish to enable Windows Ready Print driver selection) or 'Disabled' (if you wish to explicitly disable Windows Ready Print driver selection). Select Apply Select OK Similarly, if you set up Windows protected print mode through the same setting in Windows 11, it will also default to using Windows Ready Print exclusively. Microsoft hopes that these improvements will help eradicate dependency on OEM-specific driver installation processes and simplify printer installations. We'll likely find out more about other tangible benefits in the coming months.
