"Superb sound and video - but Windows CE5 lets it down"
Pros: Spectacular sound and video reply
Cons: Windows interface is dated and quite clunky
Summary: I am a committed Cowon aficionado - I appreciate the best in sound reproduction and this model hits all expectations. Video playback is of the highest order too. However, some of the applications I wanted to use with it are let down with the somewhat dated Windows CE5 operation system. This flaw is brought into very sharp focus when used next to my iPod Touch, acquired a few months afterwards, whose user interface and internet performance is little short of spectacular. So, it's a lot to spend on an MP4 player, with a rather poor Windows add-on - but I use it all the time, so draw your own conclusion. If, like me, you are addicted to Cowon's uber-excellent sound, then hang the cost and enjoy!
