Cowon D2 goes legit, but just for Korea

by Paul Miller, posted Nov 22nd 2006 at 4:34PM

Media player maven Cowon just got official on that Cowon D2 we'd been seeing around. It's a DMB device, so it's naturally Korea-only at the moment -- and boy are we jealous. Capacities range from 1 to 4GB, the 2.5-inch LCD is of the QVGA variety, and you can upgrade the memory via SD. We can't decide if the touchscreen interface or 45 hours of battery life (in MP3 mode, 8 hours on DMB) is our favorite part, but we suppose that's why Cowon included 'em both. There's also TV-out, hefty format support, FM radio and voice recording, and Cowon manages this all in a mere 0.65-inches of thickness. Still no word on price, and we won't give up hope on a DMB-less version that might, just might, grace our shores, but it doesn't look like we'll be getting no D2 in our stockings this year, that's for sure. Keep reading to view the rest of the colors.

They should stop wasting thier time on the D2 and N2 and get the A3 out. Some pics floated around a month ago with the same guy pictured on the white D2 in this article holding an A3, so hopefully it'll be out soon. Here's to a DMB-less american version.

To reset, just hold it above your head and shake it up and down...

@b.s.

FLAC support, TV out, SD expansion slot, larger screen (even if it only 0.3" larger), 30fps video, the list goes on...

You had time to post a comment, but no time to click the link?

It doesn't look like the iriver Clix at all! You're a moron.

You can't make every product look amazing with a photoshopped reflection. It just doesn't always work that way.

Sure, great, but it's only freaking 4 gigs! Put 60+ gigs in something, a useable 1-2 megapixel camera, good sized screen, and I'd finally have something to replace my X5L.
