Struggle a little bit with Windows 7 is an understatement. It's going to struggle a lot. They think they can just slap Windows 7 on any Atom-powered device and get away with it. Wrong!]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Jan 8th 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/
you probably said the same thing about girfriends, and look what you ended up with.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/That's neither funny nor cool, what's the point?
I assume you don't even know tatester48 so saying he's got an ugly girlfriend is fairly dumb IMHO.]]>Jan 8th 2010 11:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Jan 8th 2010 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/
With this size screen, Tegra or snapdragon would be a much better choice.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Jan 8th 2010 10:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/I may be wrong, but isn't Tegra an ARM11 processor with only 600MHz MPCore?
And Snapdragon is a 1GHz core (also an ARM A8 processor?)

IMHO Win7 would run just fine on an atom processor

anyone care to enlighten me?]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Windows won't run on any ARM based chip, but I don't think the loss of Win7 + Atom would be greatly mourned on this device. I think the kinds of people likely to buy this device would prefer the greater battery life and UI enhancements that would arise from dropping Win7. As unless there's a great deal of customisation here, it'll be awful to use Win7 on a 4.8" screen.]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/ah ok. But Cowon IS known for their superior battery life on some devices (S9, iaudio7 and D2/D2+)

I guess we'll see how this turns out.

Personally, if it has tremendous battery life like other cowon devices, I'll probably pick this up]]>Jan 8th 2010 10:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Jan 8th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/Jan 8th 2010 10:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/cowons-atom-powered-w2-mid-gets-teased-gets-windows-7/
