The Verdict

To sum it up I have to say the iRiver H10 has to be the best "iPod Killer" yet to date. Not only does it feature more than any other player on the market, but it's incredibly easy to use as well.

As a recommendation to anyone who buys an H10, the original Version 1.00 Firmware is very terrible. Just recently the Version 2.01 Firmware came out and fixed the known issues to the player, which is really great news to all of us that own this player, because now the player is pretty much flawless. 

So to sum it all up:

The Good
Color Screen
Plays MP3, WMA, JPEG, and TXT Files
Records radio and voice
Plays pictures!
Plays text files (although i'm not sure if you'd use this)
Sound is great
Firmware upgradeable
In-box earbuds are best I've heard so far

The Bad
No WAV support
Battery life compared to other players on the market is low
Only one flavor offered, 5GB. (so far anyways)
USB cable also has power dongle attached
Hefty MSRP $280 price tag. (Can be found for around $260 now)
