iRiver PMC-120

 

The primary five-way control pad sits on the left side of the device, a tad lower than we prefer; it should have been moved up a half inch. While the buttons are easy enough to use, all but lefties will feel awkward working their left thumb to perform...

Responsive processor; ergonomic; removable battery; intuitive Windows Mobile operating system; impressive integration with Windows Media Player 10.0 and Windows XP Media Center Edition (MCE); built-in kickstand; decent battery life.

Poor built-in speaker; pricey; no recording capability; no programmable preset buttons; no higher-capacity option; as with all PMCs, you can't create video playlists.

Although the PMC-120 is a much better device than its Linux-based brother, the PMP-120, it's not the best Portable Media Center device available.

iRiver PMP-120 (20GB)

 

Controls flank the 3.5-inch TFT screen, which has a typical QVGA (320x240) resolution. To the left, there's a four-way control pad with a Select button in its center; below it are the power and record buttons. There's also a help button that brings up...

Decent screen; built-in kickstand; includes a voice recorder, a line-in audio recorder, and an FM tuner; stylish carrying case; removable battery.

Doesn't record video; doesn't play DRM-protected WMA or WMV files; confusing controls and interface; below-average battery life; won't sync with desktop music managers.

With its maddening interface, its missing features, and a lack of video content sources, the PMP-120 needs to go back to the drawing board.

iRiver PMC-120

 

iRiver is making a name for itself in music players, and the iRiver PMC-120 shows that the company is off to a solid start with PMCs as well. We found it a bit less polished than the Creative entry, but that may be a function of being a bit less far...

Included kickstand for video watching. Proprietary base connector cable included.

Not quite as well-developed as the Creative Zen PMC. Output quality to TV is less than desirable.

The iRiver PMC-120 is a solid start in the PMC market. While our testing unit wasn't quite as polished as the Creative model, it wasn't as near to production, either.

This device isn't as pretty or easy to use as the Apple iPod, but when it comes to features, the iRiver iHP-120 delivers. The 20GB player offers an FM radio tuner, optical in and out jacks, and more than twice the battery life of the iPodfor the same...

iRiver H120 (20GB)

 

Analog and digital optical inputs/outputs; 20GB hard drive; line-in and voice recording; in-line remote with LCD; long battery life; FM tuner; high-resolution display; line out can be used as a second headphone jack.

Display text is small; slow scrolling; slight learning curve; limited Mac compatibility.

Feature-hungry music fans will find their appetites whetted by this supercharged, high-capacity portable music machine.

iPod wants to know who stole its thunder.

As always, iRiver installed a massive menu system. There are plenty of knobs to turn. Check it:
