Jegan got his hands on one of the new iRiver H320s, the 20GB hard disk MP3 player with a color screen, USB Host capability, radio, and microphone. It looks excellent, and besides some complaints about the quality of plastic used for the casing, performs as advertised. The USB Host functionality means the H300 series devices can serve as portable hard drives for digital cameras, and I suspect that feature combined with the color screen will make these players a big hit for photographers. They do say the remote is sort of useless since it doesn't have an LCD, but I tend to disagree. Like the iPod's remote, I find that simple remotes are more than useful enough for their main purpose, which is to skip a track or two and to pause your music without pulling out the new device. On the upside, if you need an LCD remote, the units from the iHP120 (an older iRiver player) will work with the HP300 series just fine.iRiver H320
