The fact that Iaudio are behind in terms of release of the M5/X5 is irrelevent.

the fact that they are still developing players that suit the more "niche" market (us) as you put it is to be noted, and respected. The X5 is likely to better the H300 in most respects which is also something important to consider. so when i eventually upgrade my player, i will be thinking something along the lines of

"The X5 is a new player, with features similar and better than the H300, is still/and will be for the forseable future supported by Iaudio"

not:

"the X5 is better, but ill get the H300 because Iriver did it first."

yes Im aware of the fact Iriver is trying to appeal to the mass market, and that is fine! but that doesnt mean i have to follow them blindly like a sheep, i will choose whichever company offers me the best player.
