very satisfied [Posted on 2007-01-10]
I bought this for my wife for Christmas, and she loves it. It has a large screen for its size with excellent resolution. The interface is well designed and easy to navigate, and it is quite simple to load it with music, videos, images, etc. The shipping was fast and everything arrived as advertised.
Good Product [Posted on 2007-01-17]
This product was a Christmas gift for my 9 yr. old son. He loves it. It is very easy for him to use. He shows me how to use it!
Poor life span [Posted on 2007-01-28]
I bought a 512mb model u10 right after if came out and after about 8 months began to have problems with it deleting songs on its own, or when I would delete them the songs name would stay in my playlist and would stop playing whenever it came to the song. I have another u10 which is the 1GB model and after about 8 months it is doing the same thing, I wouldn't advise anyone to buy an iRiver product and if you have one take it back now because it will self destruct. IRiver isn't the only company who seems to have problems with their MP3 players lifespan, average life of a much more expensive IPod is only 18 months. Until someone steps in and insists these electronic companies make a reliable product I am sticking with the cheaper products that services like Napster and Urge offer.
Good Video + Audio Hard to Install [Posted on 2007-02-18]
Had problems installing and attaching the U10 with Window Media player 10. Called the help desk and it took 3 tries to get someone that Knew how to handle the installation. Most of the people on the help desk have no idea how to help. They told me to return the product and get a new one that had the same problem. Had to make a change to the regastry. Then it worked as promised. However, I had to reinstall the operating system and loaded Windows Media Player 11 and the devise work just by plugging it in to the URL.
Earphones are cheap so I replace them and the music sounds great. Pictures show up chrisp and clear. Games are lame. And I have not been able to convert the anything to the required video format.
Pictures and video need their own utility to download.
The ability to use the frame around the unit to for most of the controls is east to use following the promts that show on the screen.
Excellent device... [Posted on 2007-12-14]
iriver u10 is an excellent device and has features that no other mp3 player can have all together.
Some of the features I love:
-built-in radio (ipod or similar doesn't have)
-record sound/radio/linein directly to mp3 (amazing..., can record hours and hours...)
-video
-connect as a usb storage and you have the freedom to directly copy/rename/delete any file in it as its another folder in your computer! And you are not bound to an application such as itunes...
-have different settings for song listings (such as list artists, albums, titles) BUT my favorite is that, it allows also you to browse the filename lists (not available in ipod) as in your computer. This is best if your mp3 tags are not well organized!!
-Memory is flashram, so no need for extra careful handling
-and finally; battery life is really long...
only problem might be the capacity (1gb). If you are the one that want to carry all his audio in a device, go for a hdd based device... Otherwise, enjoy u10...
