From the article:

"Hopefully we'll be able to play with one soon, but there's still no word on a US launch. "

And Engadget isnt fooling anyone. They are trolling around the internet to find every Chinese market crap tablet so they can splash it on here to try to paint the far better ones sold in the west as being lousy, so they can keep the skid-greasing for Apple's device on track.

Cowon is a south KOREAN (and yes, Korea and China are two TOTALLY different things) and known for their great sound quality and format support in their DAPs and PMPs.

I'm not surprised there's no announcement of U.S. release; it just doesn't fit the U.S. market. When we get mobile digital TV (assuming there will be anything worth watching when it happens), we'll get more of these devices, but even then, we won't need it to run Windows.]]>Jan 26th 2010 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/Jan 26th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/

The Apple tablet will not be thicker than an iPhone ..even if it's thicker it'll only be very slightly thicker. Apple isn't stupid enough to make a fat heavy tablet.

It will weigh less than 2 pounds if not 1 pound.

I think it may be pocket-able and movie screen 2:1 (2.35:1?) ratio .. but maybe that's unlikely. ]]>Jan 26th 2010 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/

That being said, Windows 7 IS optimized for such uses.

Oh, talking about the Sony... yeah it was like the UDX or something I can't remember. Can't give it to you though, sorry. It set out on a trip and is currently in Andromeda.

And I mean more than just dropping on an app that just runs full screen. Looking at you HP. The Windows 7 interface can be modded so that icons/text/buttons etc.. can be larger. I have not checked out Stardock in ages, but I remember seeing a theme that made a PC look exactly like OSX. It wouldn't surprise me if someone has worked on one to make Windows look sort of like an iPhone (interface).

Thank you for your answer.

When I talk about their products to people I'd rather pronounce it correctly and spare myself the embarrassment.

Honestly though, without anyone exploding over this...

What the heck do you do with these things? If it's supposed to be a media player, then what is Windows 7 doing on there? Wouldn't something more lightweight suit it? I guess you can use the browser, but in the age of smart-phones with browsers suited to small screens and fingers, I can't see desktop Firefox scaled down to a 5ish inch screen being the best way to go. If you want to run some kind of full application, what would it be? ]]>Jan 26th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/26/cowon-w2-shown-in-its-natural-tradeshow-habitat-running-windows/
Heh, just to play devil's advocate here, but isn't it easier/cheaper to just get a couple high capacity SD cards instead of lugging this thing around with you? I mean, they are super tiny compared to something like this and they don't need to be kept charged. Besides, if you start dumping all your RAWS onto the thing you'll have no space for the videos that need the weird codecs to play :)
