Review Of The iRiver H320

"Last September, iRiver unveiled its new flagship line, the H300 series, hoping to shift the five-way tug of war in their favor a little bit further … The model I bought, the H320, sports a 20-gig hard drive and up to 16 hours of playback on a single charge. (I've only been able to get 12 hours, though, which is still fairly decent considering I'm the sort of guy who turns this thing on when I wake up, and then leaves it on until its batteries deflate.) Oh, and it has a 262,000-color screen too which is pretty charming considering it's currently the only player in the world with one. It also comes with an inline remote, which is a pretty standard option for HDD players these days, and supports pretty much every music format that matters (MP3, WMA, OGG, ASF)."



A solid review of the device for all those interested in buying one. There have been at least five people from the TM community that have IM'd me in the last two weeks to ask my opinion on the H320. I saw the device in one of the press events here a couple of weeks ago and was mighty impressed by its size and screen. I took some comparison shots of it with an iPod and the iRiver iHP 140. I will post them in this thread later today.

Yes, you were one of the people. Katy from PPCT was another. I was totally intending on posting pictures today but I don't think I will get to them until later tonight or tomorrow morning. But I will have to make it quick to counter all the attention that the color iPod is getting.

I'd rather have the 340, especially since these units look like native FAT32 drives to Windows.
