Cowon iAudio D2 Review - Anything But iPod

The video review is a little too slick and slavish for my tastes, but it does demonstrate why I think this is the right PMP for me. Long battery life, expandable memory, great sound quality all point to a thumbs up in my book. My only other choices right now are the 32GB Zen and the 60GB Zen Vision M from Creative. I’d considered the Samsung YP-P2, but the fact that the 16GB model is unavailable in Singapore and that there’s neither expandable memory nor TV-out, as well as limited video codec support don’t do it any favours. The 3″ touch screen is really cool though and supposedly has some of the best sound quality around, with solid firmware upgrades adding games, audio codec support and more.

There are of course more high tech models coming up soon ( as always), so I’ll probably wait awhile before putting any money down.
