By the looks of things, the iriver S10 may give the new iPod Shuffle a run for its money.
The new iriver S10 is not much bigger than the Shuffle at 42 x 30 x 10.8 mm / weight 17.5 g (Shuffle: 41 x 27 x 10 mm / 15.6g), but it packs in a lot more functionality. First off, the s10 has a 1.15-inch 128×96 OLED screen and FM recording. It also has a larger storage capacity - 2GB compared to the 1GB Shuffle.
If that wasn’t enough, the S10 beats the Shuffle hands down in the looks department.
Unfortunately, the S10 does not feature video support and the battery life is limited to 8 hours (Shuffle 12 hours).
In the end, the determining factor might be price. The shuffle comes in at an affordable $79. At this point, the price of the iriver S10 has not been released - although you can bet that it will be significantly more expensive.
