The iRiver H340 Multi-Codec Jukebox, which is basically something like an iPod but with a difference. It has built-in FM Tuner and you can watch movies on it!
? ? ? WHY DID I BUY IT? ? ? ?
This seems to be the age of the iPods but I?m not a fan of the iPod because of the battery life and because everyone?s got one. It?s a fashion statement. You?re walking down the street, you see people with the white earphones and they?re everywhere! I thought the storage space was impressive and they look pretty good but that?s all. (Sorry iPod fans). My friend bought an iRiver and told me about it. He told me it could play MP3?s and even movies. I looked it up, and read a review about it, after that, I had to get one!
? ? ? WHAT WERE MY FIRST IMPRESSIONS? ? ? ?
The player fits nicely in my hand. It looks good but it?s bulkier than its 40 ...
Advantages: Excellent Features Disadvantages: Battery life short
I ordered my Kodak C340 off good old ebay for £72.50! I was impressed with the camera as it is quite small for a camera with its features - 5 MP, 3x Opitical Zoom etc.
It feels like a real sturdy bit of kit with the kodak mark on it and feels like a classic as soon as you try it out! The first few shots i have taken have been around my home and their quality has been excellent, sharp, colourful, and defined! But after about 20 shots my normal aa batteries died! I thought that this might be a problem so i decieded to try a set of uniross 2100amh batteries that are recharble - these have lasted me until i am writing this review - and hopefully far beyond!
The camera takes about 190 shots on a 256mb sd card but also can accept mmc cards.
Another feature is the direct link up with printers with PictBridge - i tried this on my hp psc ...
Advantages: Cheapish, memory, features Disadvantages: Size
I owned this MP3 player for years, and it suited me down to the ground; so I think it deserves a review from me. First, good feature for me was the size; 40 gb!, I think about 9000 songs; maybe more. It really isn't necessary to have more than that on a portable MP3 player in my opinion. Secondly, the interface is really easy to use once you have gotten used to it. Thirdly, with the nice small screen it is easy to view pictures and with a firmware update it is even possible to watch videos, which is great (all the functionality of an iPod video with a lot lower price tag). Another good feature with the Iriver h340 is that you can install rockbox software, and get so much more out of your Iriver, including games! The only problem that I believe this device has is the size. I would still recommend this over an iPod video for many reasons ...
