  • Abstract:  Like the iPod Touch and the Archos 5, Cowons D2 has a touch screen instead of physical buttons, but it feels less responsive than the other players. The comparatively small 2in screen and the confusing interface, which is littered with small, hard...

  • Abstract:  In contrast, using the supplied software was actually quite a painless experience, it only took just over ten minutes to encode and copy 250MB of data, by far the fastest on test. The display quality is also extremely impressive; the large 2.5in screen is...
