Two domestic colleagues want me to use this opportunity to return to the country to buy MP3 players, one to IPOD Mini 6g (Mini 2 generation. But he is not a Mac fans), one to Iriver H10 (Iriver recently released 5G Color screen). After bought, I just compared it. Since there is no trick, it is just a rough ratio.
Packaging MINI: a small box of a slap, the color of the box is MINI color. The box opens, the user manual, USB data cable, the headset is very carefully. USB data cable is very good. No charger (using USB charging directly). H10: Very personal box, red black two-color intertwined. The box is open, the user manual, the data cable, and the charger are relatively messy. Comments: MINI and H10 are all in China. But from the attachment, you can still see that Apple's requirements are higher.
Player MINI: MINI does not need to be introduced. The iPod player integrates too many Apple's culture. Pink body (friends want color), white headphones. Place the player on a bright porcelain white belt clip, showing noble worth. Scrubber housing, feel good. Perhaps it is the original for a metal casing (or battery), and the Mini is more important than H10. H10: Not a full metal case, but the front panel and backplane are metal. Wine red case, charming and enchanting, even some sexy. The panel is also matte, the side is silver gray, which looks like engineering plastic, but that is in his hand, there will be no feeling. H10 is light than MINI, but MINI is slightly width, the same thickness. The panel has a very beautiful radiator. Comment: Almost a flat hand, I can't say which one is like. The H10 designer is Korea's top styling designer (present on the box), the overall design is not lost in MINI.
Headphones MINI: White, I don't know where OEM. On the Internet, MINI's earphone sound quality is general, and the bass is not rich enough. But my ear is not too much. H10: Black Sen Selell MX400 OEM, marker marked with SENNHEISER and IRIVER. Although it is a mid-range headset, it is used to listen to MP3, should it be enough? Comments: H10's headphones are better
Control MINI: iPod iconic disk type touch controller, through the touch of the disc, select the menu, the middle of the circular button to perform the operation. All controls are on this disc (including power switch). H10: Control distribution in three places, power supplies on the left, play / stop, fast forward / returns, and two operation buttons on the panel: execute button, return key. The touch screen can be slightly up and down, or you can slide quickly. Comments: MINI settings are simpler, all controls are set on the disc, and the finger is not needed to move. But when you are not familiar with touch screen operation, it is not allowed. The H10 manipulation distribution is relatively scattered, your thumb often moves several places, but the accuracy of the control is better than MINI. Overall, MINI's control is more harmonious.
Battery and hard disk capacity Mini: 2 generation battery is said to be used for 18 hours, but it is not available (unless APPLE is replaced). Take electricity from the computer through the USB port to charge, no additional charger. 2 generation hard drive capacity has 6G. H10: The battery can be replaced, you can use 12 hours (the nominal value when it is usually used). The hard disk capacity is 5G. Comments: MINI can't replace the battery always feel that it is not very satisfied. Perhaps it is designed to be able to change the battery, it is broken, and the beautiful body design of MINI. It is definitely a good idea to charge directly through a computer, and at least there is at least that charger. H10 is definitely good than only 4G 1 generation mini, but 1G is less than 2 generations (about 200 MP3). H10 does not know that it is not possible to charge it via USB. Screen MINI: Monochrome highlighted LCD screen. When displaying Chinese, there will be a different size, this should be a problem with the font. The backlight can be turned off. Automatic shutdown time has 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, etc. After closing the backlight, it is still displayed (the estimated LCD is not closed). H10: 260,000 color screen, this is the best place in H10. The LCD screen is slightly smaller than mini (width). The text is displayed, more delicate, and even feels the effect of TuReType's elimination. Chinese shows more delicate than MINI. The LCD can be timed to close, and there is no display when it is closed. But the time is automatically closed, 5 seconds directly for 30 seconds. I feel that there is no mini settings more user-friendly. Comment: H10 is more excellent (although there is a small 1 mm). But on the time setting of the automatic shutdown, you can still see MINI more user-friendly.
The sound quality is not careful. But H10 supports SRS WOW effects, and 30 EQ scenes. With SENNHEISER's high-quality headset, it should be more won than MINI.
Upload MINI: 2 generation MINI less fire line data cable, only USB2. This changed Mac fans have an anger, there are many Mac or even a book apple request to provide free fire line data cable. H10: Usb2 interface
Other functions MINI: You can record your schedule, contact (but it seems to be handled by isync, Windows users can't enjoy), and the game. MINI does not have the function of the FM radio, and additional FM accessories are expensive. H10: There is no news book, but there is an album, you can play the picture, photos of the JPEG format through the color screen. The H10 has the function of the FM radio, and 20 stations can be preset.
PodcastMini: You can automatically synchronize and update it through iTune. As long as you subscribe, you can automatically pass to the MINI H10: No automatic update function, purely transmitted to H10 as an MP3.
Other small places: MINI's HOLD button opens, the orange indication appears on the button, very eye-catching. And H10 has no indication. At this point, MINI is more user-friendly. H10 standard plastic jacket, always feels like the devil's body like H10, and set up a jacket, and the charming appearance is gone.
More interesting is that if you go to Iriver's website, see H10 introduction, you will find that all propaganda paintings, those models have a red apple that is bitten a few mouthfuls, and the mouth is ready to bite a bit . The release of H10 may really bite a bite on the iPod market share.
