Cowon's iAudio X5 media player make a rare appearance
posted March 14th 2005 2:21PM
In the grand Engadget tradition of obsessing over
(Cowon's) next moves, we've been foaming at the
mouth over the forthcoming eventually maybe some day soon we're not telling when
iAudio M5, and it's multimedia-centric older
sister, the X5. And wouldn't you know it, they've been showing the X5 around town right behind our backs. What can we
expect? Not too much different from before (no official word on the video codec support, but the
A2 will support DivX, Xvid, and WMV) but we can expect
sizes ranging from 20 to 60GB, and that sweet 1.8-inch 240k color 160 x 128 screen. As before, on the audio end it'll
play back OGG, FLAC, MP3, and WMA, and will also feature USB 2.0 On-The-Go. Too bad we can't seem to convince them to
cut down that screen-hump before release (hey man, no excuses—for inspiration why not take a page out of the
Gmini 400's book?).

Nice choice of wallpaper.

Does anyone know when the X5 will atually be coming out? Because for four or five months I've heard that it'll be coming out the next month, but still hasn't. Now, the last thing I heard, it will be coming out in early May. It's May 7th and I still haven't seen anything. Anyone know if this month will be the real deal?
