I clicked on "Other Products" on the iRiver Europe site, and got this

The PMP ("Video"). The H10 ("Music"). That's it.
The H300 may still be in production. It may not be. It doesn't actually matter, because the irrefutable fact is that they're no longer part of iRiver's strategy. In fact, iRiver's strategy has no 20GB or 40GB player at this time. This is monumentally stupid.
iRiver could learn something from Apple, which, when it released the iPod Photo, kept the rest of their product line well-distributed and available. It's called an attention span.

you dont see anybody complaining about the lack of usbotg or video on the flash players do you? no, because they is not what they are aimed at

What
are they aimed at, then? I can't think of single compelling to reason to buy the H10 over other mini players. It doesn't seem to have any advantage whatsoever.
Oh, that's right. The colour screen. Which doesn't support album art.

ALL of the credentials which first attracted me to an Iriver player are GONE.
being:
Ogg vorbis playback
Line in/out (optical in the cse of the H100)
fully finctional LCD remote
Large storage capacity
audiophile-ish sound (H10 bass problems anyone?)
the only thing still present in the H10 i require is the radio. heck, you cant even use the thing as a mass storage device in US.

Very well put.
