The iriver H340iriver range, as of September 2005, is as follows. In the case of hard disk and flash memory based players, the amount of built-in storage is indicated in parentheses. Some models are no longer manufactured and sold at retail:

Some of the iMP series are known as C series in Korea.

hard drive based players

• E10 (6GB) (2006) Comes in black and white. It uses an interface similar to that of the U10 series. The device also has a remote control for the base of the U10 and a television.
• H10: (5 GB, 6 GB, 20 GB–except Asia) (2005), available in 4 different colors (red, blue, silver and gray), 16-bit color screen, can record from Radio, Internal Microphone ( Voice ) or Line-In (Line-In only with cradle, sold extra). The device is about the size of the iPod mini and is made mostly of aluminum. Navigation is done with a touchpad designed by iriver.
• H300 series (2004), similar to the H100 series, but capable of transferring images directly from digital cameras and UMS-compatible devices such as flash drives, as well as displaying digital images and XviD movies at 15 FPS on a color screen (compatibility with video is not available on US players with US firmware). The H300 also lacks the optical inputs/outputs that the H100s had. Models: H320 (20 GB) and H340 (40 GB). It’s recently been discontinued in favor of the newer and anachronistically less feature-packed H10 series.
• H100 (formerly referred to as “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 lack the FM radio functionality available in other world markets.

Criticism of the U10, T30, T20 and T10 models after iriver dropped UMS support in favor of Microsoft’s Media Transfer Protocol has been partially assuaged by the introduction of an official iriver firmware updater.
