iriver H340iriver’s range, as of September 2005 is as follows. In the case of hard disk and flash memory-based players, the amount of storage built in is given in brackets. Some models have been discontinued from production and retail:

Some of the iMP-Series are known as the C-Series in Korea.

Hard disk based players

• E10 (6GB) (2006) It comes in white and black. It uses a similar interface to that of the U10 series. The device also features a remote control for the U10’s cradle and a TV.
• H10: (5 GB, 6 GB, 20 GB–except Asia) (2005), available in 4 different colors (red, blue, silver and grey), 16-bit color screen, can record from Radio, Internal Microphone (Voice) or Line-In (Line in only with cradle, sold extra). The device is around the size of the iPod mini and is composed mainly of aluminum. The navigation is done with a touchpad designed by iriver.
• H300 series (2004), similar to the H100 series, but capable of transferring pictures directly from digital cameras and UMS-compatible devices such as flash drives, as well as showing digital images and XviD movies at 15FPS on a color screen (Video support is not available on US players with US firmware). The H300 also lacks the optical in/outputs that were on the H100’s. Models: H320 (20 GB) and H340 (40 GB). It has recently been discontinued in favor of the newer, and, anachronistically, less feature-packed H10 series.
• H100 (previously branded “iHP-“) (2003): H110 (10 GB), 115 (15 GB), 120 (20 GB), and 140 (40 GB). It has been discontinued for all territories.

European customers should be aware that several models are missing the FM Radio functionality available in other world markets.

Criticism of the U10, T30, T20 & T10 models after iriver’s dropping of UMS support in favor of Microsoft’s Media Transfer Protocol has been partially placated by the introduction of an official iriver Firmware Updater.
