I bought an iriver T10 because:
It's got a microphone for recording meetings
It's just a USB drive to Linux
It runs on a standard AA battery
It is not so good because:
The interface reminds you why most people buy ipods
The USB socket died rendering it useless
If it was still alive it would have been quite good. I especially liked
the AA battery aspect.
