iriver has announced three additions to the award-winning portable music H10 series.
Player navigation, color display, photo viewing, FM tuner, voice recording and touch strip control are consistent experiences across the family, which comes in 20GB*, 6GB, 5GB and 1GB capacities. The new players come in a variety of modern colors and support a broad range of online audio and music services.
The H10 family is PlaysForSure compatible, works seamlessly with Windows Media Player 10 and features support for Auto Sync to sync music, photos and playlists between PCs and H10 players. The PlaysForSure logo ensures consumers can easily identify digital media stores and devices that work together.
“iriver continues to expand the horizons for music lovers with these additions to the H10 product line,” said Kevin Unangst, director of Windows Digital Media at Microsoft. “With support for Windows Media Player 10 and PlaysForSure compatibility out of the box, iriver H10 customers can choose from the widest range of music subscription and download services available today.”
The H10 also supports innovative online portable subscription services, such as Napster To Go, which provide customers with an additional option to experience new music and expand their music collections for a monthly rate.
“Napster is pleased that iriver recognizes and has answered the consumer’s desire for a choice of different MP3 players by broadening its H10 line-up with devices that offer a range of capacities and features,” said Brad Duea, Napster’s president. “The new 20GB, 6GB and 1GB models help make digital music more accessible by offering compelling options at various price points.”
“Our H10 family offers the best combination of design, functionality and features available in a portable audio player,” said Jonathan Sasse, president of iriver America. “As music services and customers’ preferences evolve seemingly overnight, we are staying ahead of expectations by providing a consistent and exceptional player experience across the entire H10 family.”
The iriver H10 players are bundled with iriver earphones, quality carrying case, installation software CD, AC adapter, USB 2.0 cable, interface cable and printed user manual.
