The iriver U10 is sharp-looking digital audio player with an impressive display, especially considering the overall small size of the unit. The full-color display measures 2-1/5 inches diagonally, making it ideal for displaying JPEG files. That's right--in addition to MP3, WMA, and OGG audio files, the U10 can hold and display JPEG and MPEG4 files.

The U10 is available in two capacities, with either 512 MB or 1GB of skip-free Flash memory. The unit includes a built-in FM tuner and a voice recorder. The U10 comes preloaded with several music tracks from eMusic, and it also includes a number of Macromedia Flash Lite video games. More games can be downloaded for free.

Better-than-average earphones are included in the U10 package, and the sound can be enhanced with the 3-D audio effect, which creates a deep soundstage. Even better, the U10 has ten preset equalizer curves, or you can create your own custom equalized sound. As an added bonus, the player has a built-in alarm clock. The U10 has a rechargeable battery that provides a substantial 28 hours on a single charge, and it utilizes a fast USB 2.0 port for file transfers.

The 512MB version has an MSRP of $199.99, while the 1GB version has an MSRP of $249.99.
