The Good
Sophisticated compact design with removable battery; solid sound quality and nice EQ options; excellent FM and voice recording; photo-friendly color screen; supports Windows Media DRM 10.0.
The Bad
Controls aren't as intuitive as those on the iPod Mini; power adapter requires a USB dongle; line-in recording requires an optional cradle; mediocre battery life; no album art support or PC-less transfer of photos to device.
Bottom Line
As iriver's first 5GB entry, the H10 includes nearly every coveted feature, but navigating the player controls can frustrate some users.

Great player. Excellent features, plenty of space (Come on, who has 2000 songs..?) and a great interface. Software is a waste of time though, but there is a free alternative.
