The editors didn't like

  • Picky with WMV files
  • Very few compatible video formats
  • Small screen for video
  • Menus only in English

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

  • Size, ability to play lossless audio formats, easy file transfer process, glorious touch-screen
  • Capacity, awkward interface, lack of accessories
  • The Cowon D2 is an all-around solid device. Music sounds great, video looks clean, it plays a variety of formats and does pretty much everything expected of a PMP. It suffers greatly from a poorly-designed interface, but almost makes up for it with ...

  • Abstract:  Some of the amazing stuff the D2 can do is the ability to play videos and many different audio formats, SDHC compatibility, its battery life and of course the touch screen. The D2 has quickly become Cowon’s most discussed player on the iAudiophile foru...

  • Beautiful design, Superb-looking videos, Intuitive touchscreen interface, Solid battery life, Supports Mac and Windows
  • Limited onboard storage, Doesn’t support online video stores, Photo rendering a bit slow
  • The Cowon D2 packs a lot of functionality into one very small device. It offers superb battery life and some powerful audio and video chops. The companys name might not ring a bell, but this is one of the best flash-based PMPs yet. While it has the sa...

  • Easy to load with music, songs, and video. Lightweight and small. Sharp LCD. Touch screen. Expandable up to 12GB with SD card. TV-out for video playback.
  • Interface can be annoying. Scroll-bar awkwardly placed. Images take too long to load and render.
  • The tiny D2 is nothing to write home about, but it does have a few things the iPod nano doesnt—like a 2.5-inch screen and an SD card slot....

  • The D2 is Cowon’s first ultra portable video player and their first foray into the wondrous world of touch screens. Although similar in appearance to the iriver clix, the D2 sports some significant differences under the hood: things usually not foun...
