ReignCom Annouces the iRiver E10
The E10 will be iRiver’s next mini-hard drive player to hit the Korean market at the end of April. The player features a 1.5” TFT LCD screen along and tactile 4-button interface along with what looks like a dedicated volume buttons. Features and navigation will be similar to the U10: FM, video, flash games, picture viewing, voice recorder, ect…
The E10 does add an interesting twist, an infrared transmitter. It is mentioned that it could be used to control your television, but this could possibly be used for transferring files by P2P-OTG.
Once it hits the US in a few months, it should retail for between $200 and $250.

Question, though: are they going to turn up the good, turn down the suck?
I mean, will it have:
UMS?
FLAC support?
Decent audio-in?
I was very taken by the old iRivers, but then they started releasing modern ones with reduced features (for one, before you could walk around with a good microphone plugged into one and it was easily a radio-worthy portable recorder. Before you could just plug it into a computer and it'd be a drive. Etc etc...)
That's the kind of details I'm wondering about, the kind of features that are rarely listed on the box but make or break the experience of owning and using the device.

Anything but iPod? What!?! Well that just goes to show how good the iPod really is being that people devote this much time to write about "anything but ipods" that's just funny.

That is the most counter intuitive thing i have read all day. That just goes to show you are an idiot.

hey, let's all have respect here.
i bought an iPod Nano, nothing else compared to it, not that i could find at the time. maybe, if i had found this site then, i would have changed my mind.
they are good little gadgets, with just as many problems as most other forms of new technology.
however, yeah, i wish i had FM and a recorder, etc. etc. course, with gigs of music, i don't have much need for normal radio, and carry-around radios always have terrible antennas. at least in my experience.
just because they are mainstream doesn't mean that they are bad.
just because they are mainstream doesn't mean that they are good, either.
rick, you're being a dumbass.
bets, you are being needlessly insulting. the vagaries of the english language are well known. you may have misunderstood him.
hope that you guys read this, someday

I came to read about the new iRiver, not hear a defensive iPod fanboy rant.
If you read the site, you'll figure out that it's not a rebellion against 'the mainstream' or whatever you would like to believe, it's actually more of a statement against the digital rights management and limited user control of the hardware the consumer pays for, steered into an ever more proprietary and expensive future, rigged against you, the person who pays for it.
Some people reject that, but it's the same type of people that have made these devices available to you in the first place. If the RIAA initially had their way without a backlash, your iPod would be illegal and you'd still be browsing the CD racks at Tower.
You should be thanking the types of people that not only know what's happening underneath all the shiny in-store packaging, but take a stand and do something about it for your benefit.

lucky me.... it looked like a good product but the hard drive crashes like the H10..... it supposed to be the replacement for the H10 but it has so many problems like the H10. The hard drive is so easy to damage and also the firmware suddenly gets damaged and a message that says update appears and there is no way to make it work again.
