[RIO_PMP300]

Hi,
This is my first post here.
My first MP3 player was, of course, a Diamond Rio PMP-300. Back then, I had no idea what MP3 was. A friend told me what they were and I was instantly "turned on". Files as music, I saw the light big time. I got the Rio shortly thereafter. I remember showing my 77 Yr old mom the Rio and playing some techno track I got from MP3.com, she was amazed she sared at the player as though it was a voodoo doll, indeed she was completely clueless how it produced and stored music.

I have been an Irvier fan since owning my first iriver player the SlimX.
I went on to get a IFP-395 and still use it to this day.
More recently I purchased a U10 1GB.

The U10 is really is bit of a work of art. There are things I don't quite like about the interface, but I am so in love with other aspects of it, that it is my favorite player so far.

I am also a PSP owner, and have always felt like it was just too big to be considered "portable". The U10 is ultra portable and very fun to own.

I just wish that there were more useful and or fun flash games or apps to make that feature more useful.

I would like to see more in the way of themes and simple card/strategy games on the U10, but even if they don't come, I am happy.

Oh, I got my U10 !gb from eBay for $105... a bargain.

Iriverter is awesome.

Oh, and I agree, it is not an ipod. I don't want to think different, I want to think.
