"Something critical the review fails to mention!"
Pros: Beautiful screen, compact, solid build, great format support, sounds simply amazing
Cons: A little thick and on the heavy side for its size
Summary: Though the touch screen interface is unlike other mp3 players, it is so easy to use because of its flexibility. And what can be more simple than a touch screen? It is especially easy to use if you've ever used a PDA for 5 minutes.
But there is something crucial about this player that the review failed to mention: BLIND CONTROL IS A BREEZE AND IT IS PERFECT FOR ACTIVE MEMBERS! There is an option in the menus that allows the player, when in hold mode, to convert the menu, volume+ and volume- buttons to pause and skip forward and backward buttons. This is the perfect compromise since they are tactile and on top of the player so they are easy to find in a pocket or case. This is a feature that is small, yet clever, and it is things like this that set Cowon apart.
Also, the review makes no mention of the fact that the D2 supports flash games and apps of which there are hundreds of user made ones available that are really neat and fun.

Thanks for the blind control info you left in your review. I was hoping that blind control would be possible on this unit. I like touch screens. I find them easier to use than buttons. I bought this unit as a birthday gift to me. I hope to have it by the weekend. I am buying this to use when I don't want to drag out my big Zen M. I wanted a flash drive for long battery life, SD card expandability, fewer moving parts, and small size. I think I've made a good choice.
