Is this thread dead? No one posts here anymore. Is it because the T10 is not available anymore?

[saints]

Could be a number of reasons, people have bought another player or they are just lurking.

But look at the positive, no posts mean no problems!

I have an iriver T60 and I've had no issues and no bugs since I got it several months ago. This player is too perfect!

How about if everyone messages what they like about the T series and why they are sticking to it!?

I bought my T10 2GB more than a year ago after considering some Cowon DAPs (G3, U2, U3) and both the Iriver T10 and T30, finally decided to go with the T10 for sturdiness and capacity - almost needless to say I'm very very happy with my purchase.
In many ways it's almost the perfect player I wanted: music only with great sound quality, durable, runs on regular batteries (VERY important for me), good battery life, ogg support, small but not tiny, radio, UMS and nice screen, I also like the button navigation which is better then joystick IMO.
The only major drawbacks for me are the use of the battery when transferring file instead of USB, the danger of bricking it on firmware updates and maybe the headphones jack placement.

On iAudiophile.net there are many reports of G3's that are falling apart, which is a shame since otherwise they looked like good players. The lack of traffic on this forum might indicate that the T10 has a much better build quality
I still lurk here from time to time, though, hoping maybe for a new firmware update (unlikely).

Sadly in the last year it became more and more difficult to find a good player which runs on regular batteries to the point that the only models on the market, I believe, are the T50 and T60. I guess the crowd has spoken.

Me? I like to buy things that LAST. So I'm planning on keeping my T10 for some years to come...

I bought two T10 2GB players. I liked the first one so much I bought a second one. I was afraid the company would discontinue the player and I wanted to make sure I had a backup especially because I listen to audiobooks while I am a co-rider on the motorcycle. I use the armband that has velcro and hook it to the velcro on my motorcycle jacket. So far, I haven't lost it! I also can change the battery while riding on the motorcycle. If I had to to use a built in rechargeable battery I wouldn't be able to finish my books on the long rides we take. The T10's shape is wonderful because I can use the buttons easily while riding even with my gloves on! I do use rechargeable batteries when I can, but lately those do not seem to hold a charge very long. I changed the battery use to "rechargeable"in the player but it doesn't seem to matter.

Bought my T60 out of fear that AAA or AA powered players were going the route of the Doh-Doh bird. And it turns out, they are.

Bought it for the capacity and the weight, for backpacking. 2oz for the player, headphones, two lithium AAA, and homemade case.

Why do companies quit making things people want? When I tell people how happy I am with the player, they want to know where they can get one.

I have a 2GB T10. I like it for the recording, UMS, FM Radio (critical!), AA battery, sound quality. I wish it was gapless between tracks. Other than that, I have no complaints.

My perfect player would have the following:
- FM Radio
- Voice recording
- UMS (i.e., file transfer like to a flash drive)
- Replaceable battery (AA or AAA best, but even a proprietary swapable, like on a cell phone would be okay)
- Gapless playback
- Bookmarks for podcasts
- Replaygain (like the foobar2000 add-in)
- 80GB+

I love my T10. I use it at the gym and get close to a whole year out of the battery. Unfortunately the only ones left where I got mine were the 1G, but its enough for the gym, and the tangerine colour makes it stand out from the others

wow
I didn't even know the T10 came in orange.

I wish my batteries listed that long. Mine don't last more than about 25 hours (very good) which is about two average audio books. I imagine they would last longer if would quit continually turning the player off and on, reversing and forwarding, and adjusting the volume when I listen to my audio books. It seems I am always getting interrupted and lose my place. If I would remember to look at the track or when I do look at the track remember where I was, I suppose the batteries would last longer.
