    Howdy,
    Does any one have the 20gb version of the H10?

    From what i can see there's very little difference between the 2 different size players.
    The 20gb is heavier and doesn't have an removable battery - is there anything else?

    So far there's no UMS firmware for the 20gb whereas there is for the 5gb and 6gb versions, indicating that the firmware is subtly different. They share MTS firmware as of the latest version.

    Is the 20 and 6 gig bot the same size (dimension wise)?
    UMS is tha you need software to put files on it, i think (prob wrong)

    Interestingly - iRiver players have traditionally supported ogg vorbis playback but I can't see this on the spec sheets for the H10 (6GB anyway).

    Does anyone know if these things can actually play ogg?

    Unfortunately the H10s can't play OGGs. All other iRivers can though. The reason is the H10 is based on the same chipset as the 4th generation iPods (some kind of PortalPlayer chipset) and it's not cut out for playing Vorbis. I think iRiver might be working on AAC capable firmware for the H10 though.

    UMS firmware means your H10 gets picked up like USB key in Windows, so you can just drag and drop files and use it like a hard drive.

    MTS firmware means you need Windows Media Player 10 to transfer files.
