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.

Not in sales, which is usually what that statement means.

Did you mean in features, in "quality"? I personally would agree that that would be the H300 for full-size HDD players.

But the PMP is probably not the best video player, and the H10 is definitely not the best mini player. And the H10 is iRiver's flagship product.

Don't get me wrong. I love my H340; it's a fantastic player. I just think iRiver's headed in the wrong direction by squandering its technological dominance and not maintaining a full product line.
