Introduction

There I was sitting at work writing another bug report, ghosting a client machine or reading Dr Z's NFL power rankings, I really can't remember which. But then Kurtis sends me an AIM and says "Nick, we need you to write something for us!!' The guy is practically begging me. And then he says something magical, "I'll buy that stupid golf disc you want," and with those beautiful words, the deal was sealed. You see, I'm a huge disc golf fan and have been pining for a TeeRex disc to replace the Wraith disc I lost in the trees.

So what does this have to do with this review? Well, not much I guess, except that if you ever find yourself disc golfing by your lonesome you will surely want some tunes to drown out the profound loneliness you will surely feel. So, since Kurtis wanted me to review the iRiver T10 portable media player and buy me a golf disc to boot, well, it seemed like such a perfect fit that I couldn't say no!

The iRiver T10 is a flash-based player with what iRiver bills as a "sport ready' design. It's got a chromed metal "sport clip' to keep it attached and the body of the player is sturdily built. These are both good qualities to have when you're waist deep in blackberry bushes trying to retrieve a wayward disc. Of course, sturdiness alone is not enough to compete in the portable media player market. Consumers demand features! And sound quality! And maple bars! Does the iRiver T10 have what it takes to succeed? Well it doesn't have maple bars, but tell me, which player does? Let that soak in for a bit.
