Plus, it's in desperate need of Windows Media DRM 10 (Janus) compatibility. | The Cowon A2 is a sleek portable video player with a bright, wide-screen color LCD, as well as full multimedia recording and playback capabilities, but it's not the most efficient device. Plus, it's in desperate need of Windows Media DRM 10 (Janus) compatibility. | Proof positive that bigger isn't always better, the Archos AV700 fails to make the most of its wide-screen LCD. | |
