I've been looking into the iRiver H340 for a while now - aside from the wack looking faux carbon fibre body, they are the duck's nuts.
You'd think they'd supply a remote with it though.

For now though, I'm gonna have to make do with my Sony D-EJ985 -
"Reebok? it ain't 1993 - they might be poor, but they ain't desperate!"
Oh well. This is it, anyway (assuming I've bashed out the URL right):

It earnt my respect when I stacked my skateboard, fliped ass-over-tit, and landed on my back - the discman was in the front pocket of my Crumpler, and bore the full force of my impact with the asphalt as I crashed and skidded downhill. It survived with flying colours - the CD didn't even skip! Bam! Magnesium is the shit!
iRiver should knock out one in Magnesium.

Actually, apparently the iRiver H340 does have a remote on the headphones; BUT the remote doesn't have an LCD display on it.
Oh well; it's a solid MP3 player (etc) - I can probably get by with it's current features.

There's a decent review of the H320 here:

uploaded a 30 min DJ Krush vid onto my Ipaq last night and watched it on the way to work this morning. Not half bad. few looks on the train though.

We sell those ipaq's to hotel and clubs for data entry imo they are alright but the usb cradles are poo, had about 80 outta 400 get returned under warranty, and try speaking to indian's at the HP helpline and see how much fun it is

Yo AO - do u know where i can get a GPRS add on for an ipag? i dont know if its software or a harware card for it, i need it for my to mark my fishing co-ordanites........snapper always go back to the same place

Fents · Post by **Fents** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 10:24 am

i've looked everywhere if u find it ur the king!

Post by **lynt** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:21 am

Good to see the H340 revolution going nuts.

JB has em.... cheapo.

ukime · Post by **ukime** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:28 am

Yeah we were road testing the iPaqs a couple of years ago at iPrimus - they're not bad little toys, didn't get a lot of time on them though. Yay for wireless/windows-styled palm pilots on steroids

Winner, time to nick off to JB.

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:31 am

my boss gave me the rx3700 as a bonus instead of cash.
didn't complain- sweet cause the house im in is wireless/bluetooth etc so is ok.

Memory is a bitch though, cant load more than 100mg on at a time, so putting a whole set in has to be done straight to a sd card instead. not to bad.

OTHER FEATURES:
GPS available

Universal Remote for home.
Camera
Video
basic windows funktions

Post by **lynt** » Wed Jan 19, 2005 11:32 am

If it's JB on Lonsdale, ask for Kris.

the universal remote is cool. i got novii remote on mine. handy cos all the bastards at work leave all the plasmas on all the time, so i can jsut be walking past and turnt he feckers off without having to pick up the real remote!

- oh yeah, its an organiser too.

kinda hand when you got it synced and you wanna change a meeting, just change the time on the calander and it send an email to all the attendees.
funny- i'm still not organised.

yo, Fents.. call me if you want help with these GRA or your having support probs. Sounds like you a moving a fair few units and we should be giving you special treatment.

For anyone else who wants cheap hp shite.. we have a friends and family site that provides a discount. Its not massive, but you might be able to save yourself a few bucks.

call/PM me if you want details.

Those Oakley MP3 sunnies are a ripoff if I ever saw one. For the same price ($800?), you could get a decent pair of sunnies and a 20GB MP3 player. The Oakley's have a max capacity of 256MB or something stupid like that.

I'm not really after something with a hundred features I'm never going to use. An iPod would suit my purposes fine. Plus it looks hella sexy.

i think the M:robe is going to be the dogsbollocks when it gets released at a reasonable price

the M:robe is an olympus make and has just been released in Japan and it looks fucking sweet as!!!!

have a look http://www.robe-gate.com/jp/

ive got an xda2s organiser that does the job.

nhd · Post by **nhd** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:02 pm

got an ipod. the remote started giving me issues a few months in, and its now dead. so im back to those crappy white earbuds so everyone knows ive got one :S. need some new sonys or sennies.

id deff get an iriver but they are just that bit too far over the cash hill.

i use mine every day.

Post by **lynt** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:19 pm

thats the giveaway .. the white earplugz

nhd · Post by **nhd** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:29 pm

when i first got mine, i used my sony netmd short length wrap arounds. no one was the wiser!!

someone told me once that in the UK ipod theft was a real problem, and people were being advised not to use the white plugs! go figure

Ag3nT[]0raNg3 · Post by **Ag3nT[]0raNg3** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:31 pm

yeah. i really gotta get me some diff earplugs.

ive had mine about a year and the remote is fine.

nhd · Post by **nhd** » Thu Feb 24, 2005 6:32 pm

the wires at the end of the plug on mine pulled out and are all twisted etc. really annoying cos i loved that little thing ! new ones are something horrid like $60, what a rip.
