iRiver U10 (1 GB) Digital Media Player

-the design of the both the hardware and the flash user interface are terrific
-it is very simple and intuitive to use because you clic directly on the sides of the screen (very clever alternative to a real touchscreen that avoid finger mark on the center of screen)
-sound quality and level is very good
-very good battery life
-mp3 recording available(but you must buy the cradle)
-movies quality (though only at 15fps) are very good because pitch of the screen is very good (only 320x240 pixel but screen is small) -a movie takes between 300 and 400mb at a good quality - there is a free and vey simple program to rip your dvd : iriverter (it has defaults compression settings for the u10)
