The iRiver S10 is a teeny-tiny choking hazard

I know, I know--I've totally beaten the S10 MP3 player to death lately, and I haven't even reviewed it yet. But when I received my package from iRiver and pulled out a tiny device smaller than a matchbox and about as light, I was kind of shocked. I mean, I knew the S10 was small, but nothing can quite prepare you for how small it is. In fact, it's so teeny and virtually weightless that I thought iRiver forgot to include the actual player in the box. A bit of digging and I came up with the little S10 you see pictured at right and below. It's really freakin' cute.

For more than five years, Jasmine France has covered a variety of tech products for CNET--from scanners to keyboards to GPS devices--but she's happiest where she is now: sitting atop a pile of MP3 players, "testing" every music service known to man, and jamming a variety of earbuds in every shape and color into her absurdly small ears. E-mail Jasmine.

- I work at Best Buy Electrical Balcatta (Western Australia) and we got these in a month ago. When my colleague took one out of the box to put on display, I said "Good, it comes with a user-replacable battery" and he said "That's not a battery, that's the whole player!"

(3 Comments)It's a pity my whole family are happy with their MP3 players and that I've got a 20 gig Teac, otherwise I'd snap up one of these straight away.
