Something nobody has mentioned is that the the Iriver has audio recording capability with a built in mic! Great for voice memos/ recording lectures or whatever. I've seen an Iriver H320 and was impressed by the clarity of the color screen. My guess is the color display on this H10 would look better in person. When I compared the H320 to an Ipod, that poor Ipod just looked old and tired with its little monochrome screen. Hardware wise, the Irivers have always been an incredible value compared to ipods. Ipods have had some advantages with software that allow you to rate songs and playback favorites, songs you haven't heard for awhile, etc. Also that clickwheel is pretty cool. It seems that Iriver is trying to incorporate these desirable ipod features into their new line, while maintaining most of the cool hardware features that ipods don't have. It's rediculous that people are already claiming that Iriver failed when nobody writing a comment here has even seen an H10 yet. I have high hopes for them, but we'll see. Actually, I'm not in the market for a mini, but Iriver has announced that they will eventually release a 20Gig player in this series (the H20).
