Product Description

T3 recommends

Tiny and versatile, but only half the nano’s storage space. December 2005

Manufacturer's Description

The iriver U10 is moving in a completely new direction. The ingenious player consists of virtually no more than a high-resolution display and there's not a button or knob in sight. The direct click operation is done on the screen and is so intuitive that even the technically uninclined will have no trouble. The U10's features leave nothing more to be desired and the sound quality typical of iriver is outstanding. Regardless of whether you want music, videos, photos, texts, games or flash animations, the U10 is the perfect mobile entertainment machine. Thanks to its tiny dimensions, it still fits into any pocket and its winning design is a real attention-getter.

5.0 out of 5 stars U10 2Gb, 11 April 2006

By

Tim Smedley (Bromley, Kent United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iRiver U10 2GB - Multifunction Media Player (Electronics)

This is an excellent product and a great alternative to the iPod Nano. Although it is more expensive, I think that it's worth forking out a little extra. The product is an absolutely ideal size player, as it's very small, but not easy to loose and not fiddly to operate. The controls are excellent and a bit different to anything I've seen before, they couldn't be easier to understand. The software is good, although it is a replica of iTunes, but it is brilliant that you can use the player as an external hard drive, so any type of file can be transferred using "My Computer". The screen seems to be the same standard as the PSP but much smaller, so it's great quality for pictures of videos. Unfortunately there are too few types of pictures and videos that the player is capable of displaying though. The radio is good and it's nice to be able to record straight off it - this is a major bonus.
So what should you do? If you've got deep enough pockets (and long enough arms), get this player if you want to stand out from the crowd. If you want to blend in with the very many iPod users or you haven't got the funds, then it's too bad. This is a great little device and one that should be made more aware to the public as it is the best of it's kind. Well done iRiver!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 1 Jun 2006

This review is from: iRiver U10 2GB - Multifunction Media Player (Electronics)

It took me a long time to finally go for this product as it seemed expensive for its capacity, but boy am i glad i did! This thing is amazing, it doesn't everything i could want it to do and more with brilliant style and ease. The sound quality is excellent as you would expect with an Iriver product and the 'D click system' is very neat indeed
This player is very small and looks great, due to its size i was worried that the video quality wouldn't be up to much, but my worries were unfounded. Cartoons such as family guy are perfect for it, and shows such as the OC still look good despite the lack of screen. To get movies to the right resolution you will need to use iriverter which you can download from the internet and is easy to use.
The bundled software is also useful although you don't need it as XP recognises it as a hard drive.
Overall this player is brilliant, i still get excited when i use as i still can't quite believe how good it is! Ipod? Whats an Ipod?

5.0 out of 5 stars Speechless!!, 25 Aug 2006

A. O. Shillingford (Dagenham, England) - See all my reviews

This review is from: iRiver U10 2GB - Multifunction Media Player (Electronics)

I deliberated for a long time before buying another MP3 player. My current player is a cheapy that does the job, in an unsophisticated sort of way. While the iPods have a huge reputation, good sound quality, and a great control system and the 'cool' factor, something irked me about all of their players, be it size, battery life issues, easily scratched screens etc. So I held off.

Then.. then I found the iRiver U10. I read review after review in as many places as I could find - all was good. So I bought one. It is an absolutely AMAZING little thing. The sound, my god, the sound is stunning! Clear even at the lowest volumes and for such a small thing, it's loudest volume is LOUD! Also, it's feature packed and, not that I need the other stuff, I'm glad it's there. FM Radio, voice recorder (the clarity!!), video player, picture viewer, and even plays Flash based games. The press screen control system is way cool too, and means there are hardly any buttons on it.

It is everything I want: - good looking, small, light, great (if slightly small) screen, STUNNING sound, great EQ settings, AWESOME battery life, 2.5 hours full charge time, fast transfer. The dock unit bundled in the box would have been a nice touch (it is a separate purchase), but having sampled the quality of the U10 I'm more than happy with my purchase.

I don't normally get excited about these things, but I'm sitting here in the office, working away, with my two-day-old iRiver U10 and my Sennheiser PX-200's on, listening to this thing and can't tell you what it has done to change my day. I don't care who else buys one - I've got mine!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome device (but)
Really like my U10/Clix. It looks great, it's light, easy to use, and is overall good value.

It's a competitor to the ipod shuffle really. Read more
