Sporting a 5GB drive from Seagate, the sleek looking H10 comes in four different colors and features a color display. The H10 is priced at $279.99 which is about $30 more than the non-color Zen Micro and iPod mini. Will good looks and a color screen be enough to bring buyers over the iRiver camp?

But its navigation metaphor turns me off. I'd like to see more device makers add scroll wheels in place of these up and down slider arrangements.

Nice review. The H10 is a slick looking player. But its navigation metaphor turns me off. I'd like to see more device makers add scroll wheels in place of these up and down slider arrangements.

...and in the process generate more work for lawyers?
you do know Apple will sue anybody whe even *thinks* the words "scroll wheel", no?
Personally, I'm a fan of real mechanical switches, strategically located, with tactile feedback, so I can operate the player inside my pocket.
