Industry First Enhancements Allow H10 Users Access to Entire Online Catalogues
of Music for Enjoyment During Xbox 360 Game Play
VANCOUVER, Wash., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- iriver, the leading innovator in
digital entertainment, today announced the iriver H10 will be the first
portable audio player to seamlessly enable playback of protected content,
including subscription content, from a portable device docked to the Xbox 360.
"We're excited about the great experience consumers will have when they
plug their iriver H10 into their Xbox 360," said Enrique Rodriguez, vice
president, Xbox Partnerships at Microsoft Corp. "The deep integration between
Xbox 360 and the iriver H10 provides customers with access to the entire
breadth of Windows Media-enabled music offerings including portable
subscription and further advanced user options for customizing their game play
experience."
The H10 family is PlaysForSure-verified, works seamlessly with Windows
Media Player 10 and features support for Auto Sync, enabling simple syncing of
music, photos and playlists between Windows-based PCs and the H10 player. By
identifying the PlaysForSure logo consumers can easily recognize digital media
stores that provide the best experience with the iriver H10.
"The advanced capabilities of the H10 and Xbox 360 integration truly
provide the best end user experience for people who want to quickly download
and swap playlists onto their Xbox 360," said Jonathan Sasse, president of
iriver America. "We are thrilled with the ongoing collaborations we have with
Microsoft and supporting enhancements that enable iriver H10 owners the
flexibility to playback music from any Windows based online music store
through their Xbox 360."
With portable subscription offerings that include Napster To Go, Yahoo!
Music Unlimited and Rhapsody To Go, users can fill up their H10 portable
player with thousands of songs for less than the price of an album a month.
Playlists can be created on the H10 by mixing and matching subscription and
ripped content, and enjoyed as custom soundtracks during game play of any Xbox
360 game.
iriver H10 20GB players will be available with premium support for the
Xbox 360 out of the box. Current owners of H10's of all capacities (5GB, 6GB,
