I've a few comments about the H10 5GB that I would like to share, they've been bugging me for a while:
1) I find that the side controls are impossible to operate by touch. So when the H10 is in my pocket, I can't feel where forward and back are. That's bad design, IMHO. 2) Inability to natively play songs in album order. This is a horrendous bug, particularly when playing albums whose songs blend into each other (musicals, thematic albums, etc.) 3) I don't like the earbuds; while they offer great sound, they keep falling out of my ears (though this could be simply a personal-preference/personal-problem kind of thing).

I find the ear buds, to be pretty cheap and lacking on sound quality overall. Aren't they Sennheiser MX300 (I would have to run upstairs to check). I am thinking the ability to play songs in order could be because of WMP10 and the way it rips music. I am having a similiar problem with the Creative Zen Micro when adding tracks to it using WMP10 too.

Well there is no FM transmistter that comes with it, but you can guy it as an accessory. I am not sure how good it is.
Out of all of the 5GB players, the H10 is my favorite. It has the biggest screen and the most features. Better than the iPod mini, Zen Micro, Sony NW5, Samsung YH-820.

Ugh K2, I can't believe you said that. Out of the 30+ Microsoft MVP's that received a Creative Zen Micro, there were about 10 players that were bad due to buddy software or poor hardware. I would stay away from Creative at all costs.

shrug, i did have one die 3hrs after i started using it. total hdd curruption; but i blame seagate for that. the 2.0.xx firmware seems to be bug free and my replacement hasn't caused any pain yet.
the iriver did however, 3 windows installs (original, sp1 and then with sp2 in the iso .. tried to work out if it was a driver prob) later i returned it for the zen micro. it had a great interface and feel, but was pretty useless since it just doesn't work (as your review mentions, and google covers pretty well). if i could've bought a dell dj in store i would've. the only 2 players in stock that were playsecure compatible were the iriver and zen micro.
