Cowon A2
Posted by Chris Gohlke in "HARDWARE" @ 11:00 PM
"The Cowon A2 is a portable media player/recorder with a 30GB hard drive, a widescreen 4-inch LCD, and an integrated FM tuner. Its video and audio playback capabilities are good, the design is attractive, and the interface is fairly easy to use, but we're a bit disappointed in what we feel is the device's main feature: video recording. There are also some file-compatibility issues that need to be worked out before we can get really excited about this product."
Although the video recording is disappointing, this is otherwise a pretty strong player. Having almost 10 hours of battery life for video is very nice. Another nice touch is the USB On The Go functionality which allows this to play USB host to things like your digital camera so you can offload your pictures to the spacious hard drive.
