iRiver H10 Officially Official
Today iRiver officially announced its newest harddrive-based MP3 player, the H10. As expected, the H10 has a 5GB capacity, a 1.5" color LCD for viewing photos, an FM radio, digital audio recording and a reported 12 hour battery life.
Like the Creative Zen Touch, the H10 has a vertical touch pad for navigation, which is itself a straightened out version of the iPod's circular touch pad. Four color choices will be available: "deep red, midnight blue, neo silver and slate gray".
As for size, the H10 is 3.8"x2.15"x0.6" which is a little larger than the iPod mini at 3.6" x 2.0" x 0.5".
More photos of the H10 and its debut party are here.
The H10 will be available in South Korea on the 22nd for 363,000 won, which is about US$344, nearly $100 more than the iPod Mini and other comparable mini players.

The iRiver H10: iRiver Gets Its Mini On?
Looks like iRiver took a cue from Creative when they made this thing. The touch pad interface on the H10 looks just like the one on Creative's Zen Touch. Looks like Creative missed the boat in terms of getting the touch pad interface into a smaller (i.e. iPod Mini size) unit.

With a good interface charging more than the Mini seems justified. You can be sure I'll be waiting for the reviews before buying this thing though. It's the interface that kept me from seriously considering an iHP-1x0 afterall.
