"Great pmp with loads of capabilities"
Pros: directly record via av cables no dock needed
connect to tv/cable/dvd player
handles many file types
size capabilities up to 80gb
lots of accessories included
usb host function to connect any usb device and transfer files
great size/weightCons: battery life not as listed, under 6 for video, not the 7 listed
Summary: I love this pmp. The most important factor for me was the ease of recording. This acts as a pvr. For those not tech savy, there's no downloading necessary or computers for anything if you don't want. You can charge with the ac which is quicker and record directly from your tv movies/shows etc. straight to the player. The archos, cowon's main rival, doesn't allow this without a dock which is another hundred dollars. Um, these players are expensive enough without adding another $100 just to record directly. With cowon, the wires and everything you need are included. I've found this to be a lightweight player with an amazing screen, and the the toggle isn't that confusing, and works fine for me. Battery life and price could be better. Great player for those that want no fuss recording and easy copy/paste capabilities with various files. I love it!
external speaker could be better
really expensive retail prices
