iRiver H320 (Almost) Hits The Market
skyshock21 writes "iRiver appears to now be taking pre-orders for their H320 hard drive MP3 player. This is the one with the color screen that was featured on Slashdot a while back. Although it doesn't support .flac files like the Rio Karma, it does support .ogg, in addition to the usual file formats (mp3, .wmv, .asf, .wav) and sports a nifty color screen. There is also a review posted on CNET."
don't go there
640KB should be enough for anybody.
This thing looks awesome. I might sell my free iPod and buy this.

Speaking for myself, I would not be able to use up 20 GBytes. I'm kind of lame, though.
... how much space would be the ideal maximum?
For the rest of you, I'm curious

Whoah, sure beats my iPod's 8 hour battery life!

Get ready for a bunch of snarky reviews of it with either the title or hidden in the text somewhere: "cry me an iRiver". Bleh.
How much does a front page press-release advertisement for pre-market goods on Slashdot cost these days? I want to buy one.
Speak truth to power.
For awhile now, I've been waiting for a music player that supports ogg vorbis. Not because I want to play ogg files (I have an iPod), I've just wanted to see what the new official slashdot why-i-wont-buy-it whine will be.
In a million years, I couldn't have predicted "It doesn't have an AM tuner". AM TUNER!?? Are you friggin kidding me?
Come on, just flat out say that you are never gonna buy one of these things.
If being satisfied with a purchase and not seeing any reason to fuck with it just to add features I don't need is your definition of fanboy, I stand so defined.
See, around these parts, it's not possible to simply be someone who likes Apple products. If you dare to praise an iPod, or OS X, or anything Apple, you are a MINDLESS FANBOY. It means your house is festooned with Apple bumper stickers and posters, and you fantasize about fellating Steve Jobs.
On the other hand, if you mindlessly criticize anything Apple, and relentlessly call its defenders fanboiz, you are a clear-headed and objective industry pundit with a license to condescend. You are also a 7337 rebel who understands Apple sucks ass because of its failure to support the ogg vorbis juggernaut.
So please, drop the pretense of being a reasonable person who is also a satisfied Apple customer. You can't fool slashdot. We know you don't exist.
Whoops! Gotta go - it's time for us to face Cupertino and pray.
