iRiver E10 6GB
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 06:00 AM
"Overall the E10 is an excellent choice for an MP3 player. It's easy to grip and navigate, has an impressive battery life, sounds amazing, and the FM/recorder/video/photo/text/game/USB Mass Storage Device support allows it to be used in so many ways throughout everyday life. The built-in remote control is rather handy for those stuck in waiting rooms, although users with cable boxes won't be able to change channels and those using unsupported televisions may be left in the dark indefinitely. The only major downsides are the small screen for viewing video, restriction of using iriver plus 2 to synchronize music, and lack of documentation on a few of the more advanced features. Regardless, the iriver E10 is highly recommended to those looking for a slim and capable player."
I've really liked iRiver players, but this one does not really impress me. The styling seems very simplistic, yet does not convey the clean design of the iPod and the games and TV remote functions seem like a hodgepodge of add-on features. The review does not mention pricing or battery life, so these could be redeeming features to still make this a recommended player.
