The blue one looks sweet, but the price is hard to grasp.

Looks good, especially the grey one. About the price, you have to remember that the exchange rate is kind of out of whack so when the player does come to NA it will be alot less.

pretty nice. they took Zen's touch pad thing. also it will be around $250 in US because its suppose to be an iPod Mini killer, so the price should be around ipod's as well.

Keep in mind that the iPod mini is about $320 in Korea. The H320 is $470.

kinda like the dell mini dj and zen micro, basically all the HDD player companies are going to make a low gig hdd player, to try and steal a share of that mini market.

the H10 won't cost anywhere near that much once it's released in the US next month

it only looks expensive because of exchange rates, which is why a ipod mini is about the same price in korea as the h10

running text through babelfish:

"At the meeting place also the small-sized "H10" 2GB model which is thought as H10 and 0.85 inch HDD loading of 20GB HDD loading having referred and displaying. With all mock-ups, operation had not done."

Deciphering the fog, those two H10's are not production models - yet. Look quite pleasant tho - especially if the 20gb was made in same size as the 2gb. I can't tell from the pics. I would think it was more likely the 20gb would go into the 5gb shell - but if it really was a 0.85" 20gb HDD then maybe not? I'd think long and hard about a 20gb H10 if it was 1/3 smaller than an ipod mini.

2gb H10 next to ipod mini:

So will the H10 replace the H320. Or would it be Iriver's stylish line of hard drive players like its flash (N10).
