After being warmly received by the guys at C|Net, The iRiver S10 digital audio player just got another adoring review, and this one is an more-extensive look with video and beaucoups pics. The reviewer liked just about everything about the tiny player except its relatively high price, $194 for the 2GB model and an extra $30 more to import the thing. He makes some good points, such as....

Personally, I think the player is well worth the extra cost. The S10 is a delectable little DAP that does so much so well. It's remarkable in sound quality, size, customization, and extra features; it's easy and comfortable to use; and my god it's lovely to look at. Longer battery life and increased storage capacity would be welcomed improvements, sure, but both are becoming such standard complaints that I don't consider them to be deal breakers.
Why aren't these tiny players readily available in the United States, easily taking on the more-clunky competition?

<![CDATA[ iriver s10 Slam Dunks the shuffle One Day Later ]]> To hell with that Cupertino Fruit Company, if you want a full-featured portable audio player check out the iriver s10, not much bigger than the iPod shuffle but bringing a 1.15-inch 128x96 OLED screen and FM recording, too. The 2GB flash-based player is pendant-small at 1.6 inches x 1.2 inches and it's just a third of an inch (10mm) thick, plus it weighs far less than an ounce, only 1.9g heavier than that screenless shuffle.

That screen saps the s10's battery life a lot quicker than the shuffle, though, lasting just eight hours. No matter, we'd rather wear this pretty-screened bauble around our necks than go clipping on a gray object that looks like a half a stick of chewing gum like all the other sheep will be doing. But that's just us.
