The editors didn't like
Poor UI. Disappointing screen
Compared to a svelte iPod Touch
It's a clunky brick of a PMP
At nearly 2cm thick it's almost too big to hold if you're forced to stand on the train. While we like the ability to browse your tunes with video running in the background
The mus...
Sounds flat and unexciting
Plain looks and dated menus
No wireless
Display could have been better
We've seen crisper screens
Plastic design isn't as sexy as the Cowon A3's enclosure
Excellent file support. Large display. Voice recorder. Comparatively affordable.
Despite its large size, the player has no hard drive, only flash memory. No Internet access. Touch screen requires stylus. Few extra features.
The O2s file support is fantastic, and it is cheaper than its two main competitors, the iPod touch and the Archos 5—but it packs far fewer features into its inexplicably large frame....
Large touchscreen display, Supports most A/V formats, Good sound enhancements, SD/SDHC Card slot
Music not sorted by ID3 tags, No DRM support, Lacks Wi-Fi, TV-out cable costs extra
Though its touch interface doesn’t match that of the iPod touch, the $219 Cowon O2 is a good choice for those who want a bigger display, broader format support, and expandable memory—but find the Archos 5 too large and expensive. The inability...
Nigh never ending battery exceeds 8 hours in life. This polyglot reads more media file types than we care to list. Compatible with Mac, PC, and Linux; no infantile media applications irritate or limit you. SD slot lets you easily boost storage space
Cowon axed the cool AVin video recording and the FM radio. Tinny, tiny speaker is weak, easily muted by a misplaced finger. Manual switching to headphones is an extra, bothersome step. Wobbly standcumstylus's elastic lanyard gets in the way, but you'll lo

The Cowon O2 is an affordable and powerful portable media player with outstanding audio and video format support, a large touch-screen display, impressive battery life, and SDHC memory expansion.
Screen resolution is disappointing on the Cowon O2; menus lack ID3 tag sorting; DRM-protected WMA and WMV formats wont play; videos must be bookmarked manually; theres no FM radio; no video recording; and the players all-plastic construction is thic...
The Cowon O2 isnt flashy, but its an incredible value for a convenient way to take your video library on the go without the hassle of converting files. Specifications: Device type: Digital AV player; Dimensions (WxDxH): 4.7 in x 0.7 in x 2.9 in; Disp...
Superb audio quality and out put, Plenty of video codecs and format support, Easy to navigate interface, Plenty of audio enhancement options, Has an on-board scientific calculator and notepad
No FM radio, No AV out cable included, A little pricey
VideoWith support for AVI, WMV, MP4, MKV, OGM, MPEG, DAT and MTV formats watching videos is a copy-paste job and with USB 2.0 speeds, it won’t take too long either. Since the drives are formatted to FAT32, you wont be able to copy an HD video - thou...
Good Screen, Good Codec Support, SD Card Slot, Lightweight, Touchscreen Interface, Multi-Usage Stylus, Battery.
Poor Sunlight Legibility, Missing TV-out cable, Bit Expensive.
We received the 8GB version of the O2, which is just a test piece, only the 32GB is available in the market. The 32GB version sells for Rs.21,000 with a 1-year warranty. The pricing is on par with the iPod Touch but both the Touch and the O2 are on di...
Stor skjerm, god lyd, nyttige funksjoner utover MiniTV, bra signalstyrke, 3,5 mm. jack-plugg, virker solid.
Ikke optimal touchfunksjonalitet, kronglete undermenyer, litt stiv pris, ukomfortable ørepropper (som imidlertid kan erstattes med noen du liker), ganske stor og klumpete i formen.
Abstract: Selv om COWON O2 spiller musikk og kan brukes til å høre radio er det for visuelt innhold man primært bør anskaffe en såpass stor mediespiller. Selv om skjermen har et litt blast preg er enheten glimrende til å se video på. Dessverre er ikke brukeroppl...
