Review Summary

The iriver S10 may have its shortfalls, but it's all at the expense of size. At least, from the standpoint of a mini MP3 player, it's probably the best that money can buy.

On paper, the S-540 series looks almost similar to the E-440 series, albeit with a larger screen and a pair of speakers built into the back. We were impressed by how much volume the two tiny speakers could throw out, and thatÂ’s what makes the S-540 unique in its own way.

Though the updates are subtle, the third-generation iPod touch still leaves its competitors in the dust.
