                 iRiver enters 5GB MP3 territory with a sleek color player January 7, 2005; 11:05 a.m.  The product: iRiver has finally joined the microdrive-based market with its exciting 5GB H10. The supersleek H10 boasts a color screen and can display photos as well as play MP3 and protected WMAs. Available in four different color schemes, the H10 also features a decent FM radio tuner, a voice and FM recorder, and an intuitive interface that is built around a Creative Zen Micro-like vertical touch pad. Specs include:
The prospects: The price tag is about $30 more than most 5GB competitors, so, at first glance, the H10 doesn't seem to have value. But it's one of the most feature-filled microdrive players on the market with FM tuning, a voice recorder, and a removable battery, and it's also the first 5GB model to support photo viewing. Couple that with a simple two-button, one-touch strip interface as well as file and DRM compatibility and you have a serious contender in the portable audio category.
