I spent last night just fiddling with the interface after charging it and reading the manual that came with it. My only experience with mp3 players prior to this was an iPod Mini (4 gb, silver model), which I was satisfied with but ran out of space real quick. I listen to a lot of books on tape and teaching lectures, etc. as well as music, which chews up LOTS of space fast. So I gave it to my friend's fiance' as she worked out in a gym for a few hours a few days every week. Needless to say she put it to good use real quick.One nice thing about the iPod line is the gazillion accessories that are made for it from other companies. I bought an extra external battery for the Mini and was getting 28-30 hours of playing time per charge - something that Samsung's YP player line are just recently also touted to do, by the way.Anyway, overall everything with the H10 seemed okay to me.The radio works well, and after a while I got used to the interface. I like the ability to record straight off the radio as an option. I remember once two years ago Hearts of SPace ran a summer program dedicated to "Chill Out" music and there was a song on there that I still hum to this day! When I went to look at their playlist I googled the track and could not find it anywhere. Bummer. I could have benefitted from the recording ability then let me tell you!The sound is AMAZINGLY crystal clear - as good as if not better than the iPod MiniTo record from cassette player to H10 I would need to get the docking stand. About 60$ more, but I have a LOT of tapes that I would love to be able to suck directly into mp3 files.I don't know that I will use the text reading ability, although I have plenty of .txt files I could put in there. I have a Tungsten E2 that I use for that sort of thing anyway.The photo viewing aspect, however, I WILL use. I have some nice pictures of my place I took this past April when all the flowers were wild-crazy in bloom and snapped quite a few shots, for example. I would love to be able to carry those around.I did have a strange thing happen though. I turned off the H10, and when I turned it on again the screen was VERY dark (you could see it with a flashlight shining directly on it) and the sound (I tested via the radio) was not coming through. So after fiddling with the controls I just reset the thing and everything is back to normal. This may be a problem. I will check with the firmware upgrades on H10 as a just in case.Oh yes - I like the ear buds bundled with it. The Apple ear buds always were falling out of my ears....Perhaps today I will go through the tests of putting audio and image files on the creature. So far I am satisfied.To be continued....</blockquote>
