First off it's way better than an ipod if you don't need a million gigs for a couple hundred songs. Second it's got all the features of an ipod already built-in. The sound quality is way better than the ipod but I think creative zen and iaudio have the best quality. overall good mp3 player, buttons on the side are extremely handy in running opposed to the ipods clickwheel. This hard drive player is good and well designed and doesn't skip all to often (once in a while is fine) and I have had no problems turning it on after its been in the sun for a couple hours (screen takes a while to warm up it starts up black in the sun) I have a 20gb and a 6gb iriver h10 and I find them more handy than all the other mp3 players I have owned. The new 30gb Sony Go Gear with the touch pad looks like a serious ipod killer if that's what you are looking for. All in all great mp3 player and for around 100$ on ebay it's probably the best bang for your buck. Accessories included: Carrying case. Other accessories include: H10 6gb Dock (30$ iriveramerica.com)
UPDATE...
I have now owned my iriver h10's for over a year and the cheap 6gb was a great Christmas present to my girlfriend. She LOVES it and tells me its sings her to sleep every night.
I read some other reviews that said it was hard to upload music and thats not true. If you get all the drivers and update your H10 you should have no problem. I put 1,521 files onto my H10 20gb in about 3 minutes from a 2ghz laptop. All were highest quality audio files. So it is VERY fast if you ask me.
On the downside I use my H10 in the car and it has never given me any issues and the sun has never been a problem and it has never overheated and it stays in my car 24/7. Occasionally it will lock up this is rare but is usually from a bad audio file just take a paper clip and poke the reset button. I also power it from a usb car adapter whenever the battery dies and when it is on usb the lcd light stays on and this annoys me while driving at night.
Anyways this is the best mp3 player I have ever owned. My sister uses it to record lectures and it works great. Most other players have a lot of internal noise the recorder in the H10 is the highest quality recorder I have ever used in a player. Makes a great cheap gift and the battery life is really great 1 hour charge is about 6 hours play time. Works well at the gym I have NEVER had it skip, shutdown, or ever had a problem while jogging working out anything and I practically live at the gym since I Lifeguard for one.
This will probably be my last update so I hope it is helpful to anyone considering this product.
