Amazon.com Product Description

The iRiver 20 GB model H10 is the perfect portable digital player/recorder for true music and audio enthusiasts. Hardly bigger than a deck of cards, its 1.8-inch hard drive has space for over 5,000 songs (128 kbps MP3, 4 minutes per song) or more than 330 hours of music. Yet the whole player measures just 2.4 x 4 inches (W x H) and less than an inch deep. Sensibly arranged controls--including an intuitive central touchpad--make it child's play to setup and use, and an internal battery delivers up to 16 hours of non-stop music between charges.

But the H10 is about more than just music. It comes complete with a brilliant, full-color 1.8-inch TFT LCD that supports up to 260,000 colors, rendering your favorite JPEG digital photos with breathtaking clarity. (Yep, it does slide shows, too.) What's more, an integrated text viewer lets you lose yourself in paperless novels, news, essays, short stories--you name it.

A built-in microphone facilitates use as a voice recorder, with 3 quality settings to choose from. The unit also features a built-in FM tuner with a choice of automatic and manual channel-search functions, including 20 station presets for one-touch tuning to your favorites, especially handy for traffic and news updates when you're out and about. An antenna built into the supplied headset ensures crystal-clear sound quality, and a timer lets you set the H10 to record radio programs with real-time MP3 encoding at specific times of your choosing.

The H10 is PlaysForSure compatible and fully integrated with Microsoft Windows Media Player 10, which makes it even easier to enjoy your digital media. In addition to a range of options for managing digital content, you'll enjoy fast access to the H10's "digital media hall," where you can scavenge the virtual shelves of numerous online shops (including Napster To Go) in search of cool songs old and new. With the player/recorder connected to your PC, you'll be able to purchase and download songs straight into the H10. An auto-sync function synchronizes music and image files on the H10 with those stored on your PC, just like a PDA.

Icing on the cake, the H10 also a guaranteed head turner with a high-grade aluminum casing whose purist elegance is as pleasing to the eye as the touch.

What's in the Box
Digital music player/recorder, stereo earphones, a carrying case with belt clip, a USB 2.0 interface cable, an installation CD, an AC adapter, a user's manual, and warranty information.

5 out of 5 stars 6 total iRivers.......2007-08-24

I have owned a total of six iRiver's over the years. My first is a 40GB unit that has been going strong for over four years. The next two were smaller 1GB units and although they are still working, my kids wanted more capacity so we bought two H10 20GB units. They are going on two years old and haven't had one issue. Lastly, I bought my wife a 30GB unit about 1 1/2 years ago and she's never had an issue with it.

The thing we like best about the IH series is that they are recognized by your PC's USB port as just another drive. It couldn't be easier to manage your video and music files them simply using Windows Explorer to copy and past files to your iRiver.

Maybe I've been lucky or others have been unlucky but either way, I'd take these iRiver units over the ipods any day. Apple has tried to control how you use the unit in order to boost their profits. I like them but wouldn't take one over the iRiver's.

1 out of 5 stars What an expensive mistake........2007-06-11

I bought an iriver H10 20GB in Nov 2005. It froze up and required resetting within the first week. I returned it only to receive another one just like it the next month. Neither unit ever worked when I wanted it to. It constantly froze up and/or turned itself on (even in lock mode) only to run down the battery. Most upsetting is that I spent $270 on an MP3 player that NEVER worked and then had to spend another $250 on an iPod this February. Good news- the iPod has never failed! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON iRIVER PRODUCTS.

1 out of 5 stars TERRIBLE- DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!.......2007-02-20

In October 2006 my Iriver H10 died a couple of days before my warranty expired. I contacted Iriver about it and did not get ANY technical support whatsoever. You don't get a person when you call and the ebox wasn't helpful either. Finally, after 2 months of being given the runaround, they said that they'd replace my H10. I mailed it back to them in December 2006. I then received an email stating that I should allow UP TO 3 weeks for my replacement to be shipped. It is going on NINE weeks and I still have no player. In my ebox I received a message saying that they were sorry for the delay in my response, but that my case had been assigned to someone who is no longer with the company and was overlooked. I was then instructed to call or email them and they would "look into the matter". This company's customer service department is TERRIBLE. I had liked my player alright before it died, but trying to get the matter resolved has definitely been the biggest hassle I've ever had in dealing with a company like this.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON ANY IRIVER PRODUCT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Just what we needed........2007-02-13

This player/recorder, which was purchased for my wife, works exactly as advertised. My old player is starting to die, so I will probably buy another one of these units.

1 out of 5 stars is iriver still in business?.......2007-02-10

Regretfully, I bought an H10 20GB some time ago. Within the first couple months it died so I call iriver and made arrangements to send it back. It took several weeks to get it back. The one that came back was dead out of the box. I spent about 3 days trying to reach iriver to send this one back. The guy I spoke to told me that this item was seeing a lot of defects and returns. That was about 1 month ago. They said they sent a replacement - it never got here? Now I cannot get any response from iriver. I like to go to stores to see products then go to AMZN for the prices - iriver's stuff is not anywhere to be found in any of the major chain stores... these guys are going out of the game....

Product Description

Polk Audio speakers are world reknowned and widely acclaimed for their unique ability to be acoustically transparent. They fully deliver authentic sound. If you're upgrading your home audio component sound system to accommodate your new widescreen HDTV monitor, you should seriously consider the Polk RM speaker series for top quality home-theater sound performance. The RM7400T is the perfect complement to today's stylish video displays and home theater systems. Its sculpted anodized Aluminum enclosures look awesome flanking your plasma or flat screen television. High tech materials and features, such as patented Power Port bass venting technology and Dynamic Balance composite structure drivers ensure superior performance, delivering rich, full-bodied, big speaker sound from beautiful, compact packages. Match the RM7400T towers with RM Series centers and surround speakers with a Polk powered subwoofer to custom construct the home theater speaker system of your dreams. Stylishly curved enclosures formed of heavy duty, non-resonant Aluminum; the shape breaks up internal standing wave resonance for pure, lifelike sound Power Port Bass Vents hidden under the grilles extend and strengthen their lower-midrange performance for a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. Unlike competing slim tower systems, with the RM7400 you'll experience full, rich, natural voices and other midrange sounds. Overall Frequency Response 55 Hz - 26kHz / Lower -3dB Limit 75 Hz; Upper -3dB Limit 25kHz Nominal Impedance 8 ohms Recommended Amplifier Power 20 - 175 Watts per channel Cabinet Size 36-1/2 H x 5-4/5 W x 6-5/8 D (92.71cm H x 14.73cm W x 16.83cm D) / Footprint Size 8-1/4 W x 10-1/2 D (20.96cm W x 26.67cm D) Titanium Finish

Amazon.com Product Description

The perfect complement to today's stylish video displays and home theater systems, the Polk RM7400T floorstanding speaker looks and sounds great when flanking a plasma or flat screen TV. The speaker is equipped with dual 4.5-inch polymer composite cone woofers and a single 1-inch silk/polymer composite dome tweeter, which combine to produce clear, distortion-free midrange frequencies (even at high volume levels) and crisp, sweet highs. And thanks to the broad dispersion design, there isn't a bad seat in the house, as the output spreads evenly throughout the listening area.

The quality is further enhanced by the stylish non-resonant aluminum enclosure and the patented PowerPort bass venting technology. The curved enclosure breaks up internal standing wave resonance to create a pure, lifelike sound, while the PowerPort bass vents--which are hidden under the grilles--extend and strengthen the lower midrange performance to ensure a seamless blend with the subwoofer output. The resulting midrange minimizes the "hole" between the satellite and sub frequencies, helping male vocals sound rich and full rather than thin and weak, as with most other sub/slim tower systems.

Listeners can easily team Polk RM7400T tower speakers with other tonally matched Polk RM series models to create a 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 surround sound system. Additional features include magnetic shielding, which lets you locate the speakers near a state-of-the-art TV or video monitor without distorting the picture, and five-way binding post connections for the purest possible sound. The speaker measures 5.8 by 36.5 by 6.62 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a five-year warranty on parts and labor.

5 out of 5 stars stylish and good performance.......2007-01-09

For me, these speakers were at the high-end of what I wanted to pay to buy a pair of floor-standing front-channel speakers. I paid $667 for the pair, and they are well-worth it. They give light-tones (particularly female speech) a crispness that makes them sound very clear. They seem to do very well down the range, although my sub is close to them, so I haven't heard them do low tones by themselves.

The look very cool either side of a standard TV or stand-mounted plasma, they might look a bit odd next to a wall-mounted plasma / LCD.

I've always been a big fan of Polk products, so perhaps it's not an unbiassed review, but these speakers are great for the price.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Misleading.......2007-06-06

The photo viewer is very misleading. It stated that was for modern digital cameras. Does not make exception. However, Fuji xD photo card will not work. Since product is SanDisk, only their cards work in the viewer. And the seller via Amazon denies selling to Amazon. Very bad experience.

5 out of 5 stars Make your own Digital Picture Frame.......2007-01-10

Using this product and a GRANDTEC GVC-1000 Grand Video Console Video To VGA Converter you can output a flashcard to a LCD Monitor and have a digital picture frame. Note that this unit can't read from a camera, only from the top level, not from a folder. Create the images and edit them then number them, place them on the card, and display them!

4 out of 5 stars Ok but has some issues worth knowing about........2006-06-07

I have heard these are being discontinued, but since they are still for sale I'll pass along some information. I have used one of these continously for a couple years, it has been very reliable.
However it only works with FAT16 formatted SD memory. Important because of a limit of about 360 picture files that can be stored in a single folder/directory. A SDV-1A can't see subdirectories, so a 256mb or 512mb SD will only serve 360 files, my 360 pictures added up to 273MB, a 1gb SD still produced the same result. Second issue, larger (3200 X 2400+) jpegs won't display. It skips over them, along with some other smaller pics that I haven't guessed why yet. Still the SDV-1A is worth considering because as I understand it their new model doesn't have an s-video output port.

4 out of 5 stars Good value.......2005-10-04

This unit had very good features for its' cost. Only negative is not being compatable with XD memory cards.

5 out of 5 stars Great way to view pictures on your TV.......2005-03-11

This is a great product to view your digital pictures on your TV, instead of cramming around your computer. Easy to setup, easy to use, can be a little slow at moving between pictures.

Works great for grandparents to show off the grandkids....

I have been using this as a TV and sometimes to view DVD's from my computer. The resolution/picture quality and the connections/setup are very intuitive and easy to use.

Overall an excellent product at an excellent price (I picked it up from Costco).

3 out of 5 stars Love it so far!!.......2004-02-29

I love it. I bought it primarily for PC use and decided that if i am going to spend 400 bucks for a 17 inch LCD then might as well spend a little more and buy a LCD PC with TV too. I love the High Definiton capability. I love the picture quality. Course i have used CRT's till now so cant really say that it is the best buy out there for 500 dollars.
But i like it. I bought mine at costco and then was amazed to see the huge difference in prices everwhere else.
Its a bargain for that price.
I am not giving it 5 stars because i havent really used a lot of LCD's

Great scanner for books ONLY... Do not recommend for documents. No feeder or alignment guides. Big buttons, easy operation. Scanned about 200+ big textbook pages per hour.

3 out of 5 stars Good Book Scanner for the Price, but UNSTABLE Software.......2007-08-29

If you read other reviews saying the software is unstable, DO BELIEVE THEM. I took my chances and bought it anyway. I found out they were right. You can (and should) consider purchasing some other software and just leaving the CDs in the box (except the driver). I have a lot of thick books to scan (500-2000 pages each) and I'd say the software crashes at least 3 to 5 times per book (and that was AFTER installing the patch from the web site - it was much worse with the version in the box). About once every thousand pages, the software crashes and gets corrupted to the point where you have to completely uninstall it and the reinstall it. Sometimes, even that doesn't do the trick and you have to know how to clean it out of the registry (NOT for the novice Windows user). The company does offer a clean-up utility to get it out of the registry but I found I still had to do it manually a few times. This is NOT acceptable and very discouraging. Find some other software and factor its price into the cost of this scanner when making your decision to buy. Now, as for the scanner itself... decent considering the cost (not a lot of other book scanners in this price range). Don't expect every page to be perfectly straight the first time (I learned to live with it) but the clarity is good. The file sizes will add up, especially when you convert to a PDF. The PDF stores each page as a graphic (picture) and you cannot select and copy text as you might expect. I tried using the OCR feature that comes with it but found it did not do a perfect job of interpreting the graphic into text. What's more, if you try to use OCR your PDF won't look like the book. Overall, buy it if you intend to use 3rd party software.

3 out of 5 stars Good for A4 book sccaning. No Vista driver. Bad service........2007-06-27

Aa long as you have no intention to upgrade to Vista, and if you want to scann books - this is the right scanner. But knoking on the company's door for service, no matter how strong you knok - no body home... All my mails to the company asking about Vista driver were not answered. The scanner is good the service s.........s The Plustek company doesn't understand that good scanner + bad service = bad scanner.
I can only imagin what will be my fate if the scanner will for some reason- stop working. In this case my friend turn your plustek 3600 plus into a nice cofee table... I am looking for another scanner....

      Product Description

      The Mission: to create a spy-sized camera with enough zooming power to capture your subjects from afar. The engineers at Pentax accepted this challenge when they created the "smart" IQZoom 115M. The only thing big about this camera is its features. With a power zoom lens that ranges from a wide 38mm to true telephoto at 115mm, the 115M delivers razor sharp photos. Clearly the mission has been accomplished.
