Cowon iAudio D2 gets delicately dissected

It's a borderline travesty that Cowon's iAudio D2 isn't readily available in North America, as this cute little PMP sports the company's highly-touted sound quality and a display that got rave reviews, but just in case your love affair with foreign DAPs doesn't run deep enough to import one of your own, AnythingButiPod is giving you a taste of ownership anyway. Just like the myriad of devices that have come before, the iAudio D2 is getting dissected for nothing more than pure viewing pleasure, but unlike some attempts we've seen, this one looks to be well-planned and executed with precision. Sure, you might say that you'd never rip open your hard-to-acquire media player once you finally captured it, but that's why someone else has already done the dirty work for you. You know what to do, the read link awaits.

Not readily available? Newegg isn't good enough for you?

I can't find it on Newegg, but it's certainly available here:

No 4GB...
And indeed, no Newegg.

On Newegg, its under the brand name JetAudio (Cowon's US website is jetaudio.com) instead of Cowon and only the 2GB in black is available.

Yeah, no 4GB. I just want SDHC support to work, then I'll just get the 2GB one + an 8GB SDHC card for $70.

Yes, the 2GB is on Newegg and on Jetmall. Probably better to wait for the 4GB though, as it might ship with the new firmware. (Which supposedly will have SDHC support, a dictionary, ID3 browsing, and a bunch of other goodies.) Those with 4GB players outside of the US should be able to upgrade their firmware.
