The editors didn't like

  • Screen is small
  • Poor offaxis and prone to smudging
  • Fiddly menu system

  • Touchscreen gets smudgy.
  • Fiddly stylus
  • Picky with WMV files
  • Very few compatible video formats
  • Small screen for video
  • Menus only in English
  • Standard earphones are mediocre (change them!)
  • As is becoming the norm with MP3 players
  • It's got a touchscreen. Unfortunately it's not the best user interface

  • Touchscreen takes some getting used to
  • Cant record directly to SD card

  • In this way, Cowons device fails to live up to the "portable multimedia player" label engraved on its case. The D2 is an expensive flash audio player that flirts with multimedia, but ultimately will appeal only to people enchanted by the novelty of u...

  • Crisp, vibrant screen. Huge battery life. Expandable memory.
  • Stylus annoyingly connected with elastic. Not yet PlaysForSure compatible.
  • An astoundingly versatile little player and a genuine threat for the iRiver U10. Only some poor design choices and compatibility issues hold it back from pocket domination ...

  • Cowons D2 has the most stylish yet functional user interfaces Ive seen on a mobile device and one that makes the most of the gorgeous screen its display on. The battery lifes fantastic, and so is the scope for sound enhancement the D2 includes. Th...

  • Abstract:  iPod who? Let’s face it, if you’re in the market for a portable media player and you’re less than swayed by Apple’s offerings, there’s never been better choice of rivals, each playing catch-up to the market leader by offering...

  • Radio and music player work well Great display
  • Cant use own headphones for digital radio
  • An impressively tiny DAB radio and multimedia player, but it’s a shame you have to stick with the supplied headphones.

  • I must say that this player really surprised me, because I was not expecting such a well-built device with such great performance. Cowon has done a great job of separating itself from the competition simply by adding the touch-screen capability availab...

  • Whatever way you look at it, the D2 DMB is an extremely capable MP3 player. The touch-screen is good, the video playback stunning and the battery life brilliant. It has expandable memory, and the sheer range of settings and capabilities is second to none....

  Published: 2007-08-27, Author: Mike , review by: techcrunch.com

  • Abstract:  The new Cowon D2 is a pretty geeky-looking PMP that fits squarely (ok, rectangularly) in the palm of your hand, ready to play 30-fps video, photos, and music at the touch of a virtual button. With up to 4GB of internal flash storage plus an SD card slo...
