- Cowon D2 multimedia
Great player, with lots posibilities. I use it mainly for music but because I travel (USA-EUROPE) a lot and I use it also to watch TV series. Small screen but very good resolution. You have to convert downloaded tv program but that is very easy to do with the included software. Battery life is indeed long. So no worries when traveling. With an extra 16 Gb card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211245 I have 32 Gb available enough for my music collection and a lot of TV series episodes.
Great value.

- Cowon rules if features are your thing
The Cowon D2 is a fine PMP. It plays far more file types than the majority of players. It has a radio--you can record radio programs and even schedule ahead of time to record. That's quite handy when you have it. I think the navigation is very easy once you know the player, but can seem complicated next to an iPod. But the iPod is so simple to navigate because it is a simple player; it doesn't come close to the features or ability to customize like Cowon players. There are small issues with this device (radio reception is not as good as my Cowon X5L, and the file system needs some refinement) but it excels in so many areas that it's a great player over all. I love Cowon's steadfast support for OGG and will always look to them first when I am in the market for a new player. I am happy with this purchase [but do wish Cowon would make a hard drive-based player that's not focused on video play back].

- Oh So Satisfying...Especially After An iPod!
Before this little technological angel, I'd owned a Video iPod ever since it first came out on market. I thought the iPod was genius with its video capabilities. Well, after 3 long years of strenuous use, I upgraded to this Cowon D2 16 GB PMP, and it was really REALLy an upgrade.

First, I never thought my iPod sucked when it came to audio, but now I do after hearing my music through Cowon. The equalizer is fairly limited to Pop, Rock, Classical, Jazz, etc. but its jewel is really the bass enhancers, 3D surround option, stereo enhance and MP enhance. The sound is just amazing compared to my iPod, and I'm completely ready to use my iPod as a backup's backup external hard drive now.

Second, the physical aspects are quite enjoyable. The touchscreen is a huge plus for me, but that's just for me. I hear it is annoying to some people, but I love the thought of having more ... Read More

- Very good media player
The good:
-All materials are very scratch resistant. No case or screen protector and after several months, not a mark. The whole thing looks like new.
-Nice overall size. With a touch screen you don't need any extra room for controls.
The screen is big enough for TV shows; I just wouldn't watch Lawrence of Arabia on it.
-Battery life is just phenomenal. Even with video. This is something I always look for in a portable device.
-Video quality is very good, although probably not hard to accomplish with a screen this small. You do have to process video through their Jet Audio/video application but it is easy and goes pretty fast.
-Plays lossless (flac) music format.
-16 gigs is a good size for me; no hard drive, so very durable.
-Used standard connecter for charging and data transfer. I hate portable devices like this (and phones) with proprietary connectors.
