The long awaited sucessor to the D2 arrives and it's looking very familiar. Can Cowon's near budget offering deliver on the potential of its other players?
Engadget - And here you were assuming the tried-and-true PMP was dead. Au contraire. Cowon's not giving up on its dream quite yet, but after the D2 hung around at the company's low-end for the better part of four years, it's an alphabetic step backwards that's taking over as the successor. The diminutive C2 is about as simple as a PMP gets -- design wise, anyway -- but it's actually capable of supporting both music and video on its 2.6-inch resistive touchpanel. And then there's the purported 55 hours of battery life, included microSD card for expansion and the company's world-class audio quality.
I had a Cowon before, they are really nice. This one is much more modern looking and has many new features. Really great for airplane rides, and the screen is quite a bit bigger than most phones so it's a comfortable size to look at for long trips.
Pocket-Lint: Like the look of the Cowon X7 that landed in the UK recently? Got 249 of the Queen's finest pounds all piled up and ready to blow on one?
If so, we've one word for you - "Whoa" (that's English for stop a horse).
Because Cowon has just unleashed a beast of a PMP over in South Korea, with glasses free 3D, Full 1080p HD and Wi-Fi on board as well.
PMP Today: Korean PMP maker COWON has now reappeared with an iteration of their COWON V5 HD, which was announced earlier this year.
