Cowon is one of those strange companies that no one really knows about, but actually, their PMPs are usually pretty decent, with great audio quality. The J3 surfaced a few months back, but more details have popped up in France.
Unless you’ve been sucked into the iBubble, you’ll probably know by now that Cowon makes some pretty terrific PMPs, like the S9. Its latest model, the V5 HD, has just been outed and promises 720p viewing on its 4.8-inch screen.
It’s a bit of a stretch in reasoning, but some leaked docs seem to confirm media player manufacturer Cowon is dipping a toe into the world of tablets with the Atom-powered W2.
Cowon, makers of audiophile digital audio players like the D2 and S9, is teasing their new diminutive flash player, the E2. But what to make of this “circle + square” slogan?
The Cowon S9 Curve built an imposing wave of hype on the strength of its looks, which made its underwhelming performance especially disappointing. This softly beautiful white version, though, makes me feel like it’s 2008 all over again.
Chinese electronics companies taking design cues from Apple is nothing new, so we won’t dwell on it here. Instead, the SmartQ 5 could (stress could) match the Cowon P5 with similar features and better pricing.
We all know iPods have taken over the world, but the Cowon S9 looked like the perfect alternative to the iPod touch for those of you who hate Apple, so I ordered one in.
The fun to look at but nightmare to touch Cowon S9 Curve that we thought was arriving in 2009 is now available at Amazon. If form over function is your thing, it’s yours for $US240.
The AMOLED-screened Cowon S9 Curve is pretty. I get it. But a sexy design will only carry a PMP so far; a touchscreen media player’s success depends on its GUI, and things aren’t looking fantastic for the S9.
The fabulous-looking and curvaceous Cowon Curve PMP, which was rumoured to be slipping into U.S. stores sometime this month, has been pushed back to “early 2009″ due to production issues. Eye candy… delayed!
