Does this look like a guy that's worried about missing WAV? Surely not.

WAV support (and better yet, FLAC support) is in the bag.

It's not missing.

They always seem to stock the newest cowon players (p5 isn't listed yet).]]>Jul 23rd 2008 4:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/
But since it can't i'll hold of on buying it.

Maybe cowon or archos will come out with a tegra based pmp eventually.]]>Jul 23rd 2008 8:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/

Ah this is rubbish, mu archos is much better. No tv recording option either, hmmm.

Only 80gb, can it even do HD?

Remember, while your still on the DVD bandwagon (maybe not, I am just assuming with the comment you made) some of us jumped ship to go towards HD movies with HD DVD or Bluray, and would like to bring those movies with us without having to condense the quality. ]]>Jul 23rd 2008 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/cowons-5-inch-p5-touchscreen-media-player-brings-the-haptic-hap/

If you are iPod guys, I am sorry. But you would forget any iPod if you try Cowon for real without bias.
