Since 2004, when the IRiver H320 was born with its nicely colored screen and good photo support, several IRiver products have come out on the MP3 players' market with slightly different design and improved features.
Those who have tried the IRiver H10 model with a slim case, colour screen and touch stroller must have noticed it is quite a pleasure to operate. Besides, the FM receiver and the high quality audio recording make it competitive. This model includes SRS surround effects as well. The FM is easy to program and operate both in cities and rural areas.
There are three quality levels to choose from for voice recording and they are very good, especially the medium and high level. One thing that owners have complained about is the fact that the colour screen becomes unreadable as soon as the backlight goes off, although the brightness and contrast are all right. Another flaw may be the too low resolution for viewing photos. Lastly, you cannot download directly from a digital camera but you can transfer text files to it and read them with the browser.
The IRiver T10 running on a single AA battery (which is said to deliver up to 45 hours of playback) offers up to 1 GB of storage. It looks quite attractive and offers good sound quality as well as some extra features such as a voice recorder and an FM tuner. It is a durable player and with a splash-proofing included it would have been gorgeous. However, it is considered rather expensive for what it offers.
The IRiver Clix gen 2 offers a lot of features in a great design. It uses flash memory and comes in different capacities (2, 4 and 8 GB). It is also a bit slimmer than previous models and the resolution is very sharp. The AMOLED screen draws less power from the battery which is a plus.
They say the ear buds are really crappy, some of the worst ever seen but the rest looks OK and you can replace those if you really want to. The FM tuner and the games included will probably make you forget about such flaws. All in all, it looks good, the extra features are enough and the player is very easy to handle.
The IRiver E100 looks sweet and offers good audio file support and extras (such as line-in recording and a micro SD slot) but it is not very easy to use from the moment you get hands on it. You may spend quite a while fiddling with its options which is not a very good thing in a player. Those who have tested the IRiver clix say that one is far easier to use and more fun as well.
The IRiver L Player looks like the IRiver clix but smaller. You can navigate by pressing down on the sides and corners of the screen. It is a truly diminutive player, weighing only 1.45 oz. and measuring 2.36x1.69x0.51 inch (HWD). The screen occupies almost the entire front surface, which makes you wonder how to hold it so as not to block the screen. It is easy to navigate the interface if you get used to its options. Again, the bundles ear buds are rather poor but the player sounds great.k
