Cowon's iAudio M5

As far as iPod alternatives go we're rather partial to the iAudio M3—it's a pretty slick little package—but it turns out Cowon has something even better up its sleeve: the iAudio M5, a 20GB player which looks a lot like the M3, just with a thicker black casing and a color LCD screen for looking at digital photos (it has USB On The Go so you can copy photos over directly from a camera) and "limited support" for video playback (there are no specifics about what formats are supported). The screen looks totally 'shopped, so it's hard to say how good it'll actually be, but it is supposed to be out by December.
