You mean I get to be the first to post in this thread???
Well first and foremost, I love that my lovely wife was the one who got me my H340, saving me the trouble of having to make the hard choice between an H140 and H340.
I guess that makes me more attached to my H340 than if I got it by my self. To show my appreciation to her gift, I made both a front and back inSkin with her picture on it! It turned out very beautiful, and has meaning to it as well.
So other than the centimental value, what about the player it self? Thank god for non-proprietry ports. I forgot my charger when traveling once, and I was able to charge through USB (which is a standard cable most digital cameras come with). Now, i can even use a PSP charger...
Long before any iPoo was more than monochrome, I had the thrill of mocking my friends. Now with Rockbox, the usefullness of my color LCD is extended through the endless choices of custom 24 bit WPSs.
Even before Rockbox, we shouldn't forget the very cool efforts by many people, especially LJ with H3Mod.
How did I find out about iRiver? I heard about the iPoo (a bit later than the rest of the world) and I felt that I hate iToons. So I went to look for a true drag-n-drop DAP. Yes, I love UMS, and can't ever see my self without UMS in my DAP. Thank god for that as well...
Add an LCD Remote, and the H300 is one hell of a player/recorder!
This is what I can come up with right now. Hope no one beat me to posting!
Thanks to Jeff for this awesome site!
