additions to the H10 product line," said Kevin Unangst, director of Windows
Digital Media at Microsoft. ³With support for Windows Media Player 10 and
PlaysForSure compatibility out of the box, iriver H10 customers can choose
from the widest range of music subscription and download services available

as Napster To Go, which provide customers with an additional option to
experience new music and expand their music collections for a monthly rate.
"Napster is pleased that iriver recognizes and has answered the consumerıs
desire for a choice of different MP3 players by broadening its H10 line-up
with devices that offer a range of capacities and features," said Brad Duea,

music more accessible by offering compelling options at various price
points."

Ha! They are coming out with a 20 GB mp3 player, and they are the leaders of innovation? I haven't seen anything that innovative since the ipod photo, M:robe, Archos, Samsung, Lyra, Zen, Photofine, Yepp, Mustek, Gigabeat, Apex, DateXX, JoBo, or V@mp. Some innovators they are.Originally Posted by dubstylee
Considering iriver's 20+gb daps have been the size of bricks this new 20gb model will be smaller, allbeit with tons of the features ripped out.
What! no OGG Vorbis support?? that's what iRiver was good for...
The H320 and 340 support OGG Vorbis but not this...hmmm...and the H340 is 40GB for $399.00
H10 appears to be the 'iPod Mini" to the H3 series which has more features and more space for less $$
I have a iHP-120 and its a damn good player, I love how many features it has, its too bad if they start removing things...
