Called again, and they sent me another refurb, which did not work either. Called again, and we finally established that the player was not getting power, and they promissed to send out a brand new retail kit.
Called again when kit did not arrive, and it turned out they wanted the tracking number to the previous RMA. Who records that, and how come they don't have it on file? UPS was kind enough to track that down for me. It's Oct 24 and it's still not in my hands. Cons: I own this product for almost 3 months, problems keeps coming, first I bought it, then the AC transformer broke after a week, after one month the screen break, now I barely use this machine, what can I say its fragile.

Yes No. Larry M. Pros: NA Cons: iRiver support sucks. Did you find this review helpful? Eric Y. Pros: None. As an option, iRiver is also offering a cradle pack. This separate accessories bundle includes an IR remote, a retro-looking docking cradle, a USB cable, and a minijack-to-minijack cable for line-in recordings, which are possible with only the dock. Once you pop the iRiver U10 into its bright white cradle, the whole thing ends up looking like a mini TV, complete with built-in speakers.
There's even a snooze button on top for the onboard alarm clock. On the back, you'll find line-in and line-out jacks as well as a mini USB port. If there's one complaint we have about the cradle, it's that the pass-through on the back is a standard mini USB port, meaning it requires a different USB cable than the U10's.
And given the U10's price tag, it would be so much sweeter if the cradle were a bundled accessory. That is, you'll have to do your own video conversion on files that you'd like to play on the device. And while iRiver's user guide clearly documents the parameters for compatible video and describes how to transfer this video to the U10, it neither explains how to convert video, nor does the included iRiver Plus 2 software function as a video converter.
Again, because of the relatively small MB or 1GB of storage, you won't be able to hold many movies, much less tons of audio, photo, and video files. A 2GB or 4GB version at reasonable prices would be preferable for carrying around such a variety of multimedia files.
Of course, the heart of an MP3 player is its digital music playback, and the iRiver U10 is no slouch in that area. You can transfer premade playlists to the device or choose from several on-the-fly options: make your own Quick List, or let the player decide based on Recently Played, My Favorites, or My Rating. You can also rate songs on the fly.
These EQ settings can be previewed in real time. What you don't get is autoplay; that is, when you turn the player off and then on again, it doesn't automatically resume playback. This can be quite a pain if you're not on the Now Playing screen when you shut down, since you have to navigate back to the song you were listening to. Oddly, though, once you get to that song, it will resume where it left off.
Your videos will also pick up right where you left off. Overall performance was similarly impressive in our real-world tests. The Flash games are surprisingly engaging and colorful, FM reception is excellent, and the related autoscan feature works well. Menu navigation is speedy, and you get accelerated scrolling through track lists, with a cool blurred text effect. Videos play after just a brief loading time comparable to that of the iPod , and they look nice--though small--on the bright color screen.
Unfortunately, there's no video-out option, but that's probably just as well since clips formatted for the U10's display would no doubt look subpar on a full-size screen. The Good Wonderfully sleek and stylish design; unique and intuitive interface; supports OGG files and subscription content; includes FM radio, voice recorder, alarm clock, and SRS Wow sound effects; photo, video, and text viewing; great battery life.
