I have the Cowon A2 and while it's a great player with a lot of useful features, it's a bit big to be used just for listening to music... carrying it in pants pockets tends to create awkward bulges.]]>Mar 19th 2007 4:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 19th 2007 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/

I wonder when the real interesting stuff (i.e. A3) arrives here in Europe...]]>Mar 21st 2007 2:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 19th 2007 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/mandatory video transcoding into a proprietary format? if true that's a dealbreaker.]]>Mar 19th 2007 9:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 20th 2007 3:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/
Cowon is NOT a Chinese company!! They're Korean and they make quality goods as opposed to iPod knock offs and the like that we're all used to.

The price is definitely a tad high for a Flash player but the EXCELLENT Battery life (52 hours music (Not a typo, 52!!), 10 hours VIDEO), Touchscreen controls (Which is a mixed bag), and expansion capabilities make it worth it imho. MSRP's are always a tad higher than they're actually sold for anyways.

Or is it only available online?

It looks like a sweet little player... but i'd like to get my hands on it and try it out before buying it...]]>Mar 20th 2007 11:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/
They are in 4 stores (2 in California, 1 in New York, and 1 in NJ). Mostly online sales. I wonder why these companies have such a hard time getting on the shelves at large retailers. That's the only way you are going to break into this market in the US. Noone is going to buy your product unless they can look at it and/or touch it first.

The sad thing is, Apple is so far behind so many of these players, but people buy it because they know what they are going to get. They have used one... they have held one... It doesn't matter that everyone knows the iPod is lacking tons of features that everyone else has. The simple fact is, the consumer knows what they are going to get with an iPod, and that makes the consumer comfortable.]]>Mar 20th 2007 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Oct 20th 2007 12:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 20th 2007 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 20th 2007 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/Mar 21st 2007 10:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/In a formal way, Apple has built alliances with vendors for prime real estate within outlets and to keep competition out.
AND, because iPods are guaranteed to sell, vendors are not at all concerned with informing the puplic and bringing in units that wont sell themselves, even if they are better.]]>Apr 10th 2007 6:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/19/cowons-d2-pmp-hits-north-america/May 11th 2007 3:16AM
