Put your multimedia entertainment in the palm of your hand with the controls at your fingertips. This distinctive media player has a ground-breaking 3.3" AMOLED touch screen that can be used to control your media, play games and more. Its captivating slim lines and curved-back design give you maximum portability and grips that fit gently into your hands.
With built-in BBE+ technology & stronger codec capability, the Cowon S9 lets you enjoy multimedia content of the finest quality possible. The 100% flash-based interface provides a smooth and dynamic environment; you can zoom photos in or out with a flick of your fingertips, preview thumbnail videos along with their playback time, flip through album art, tune into your favorite FM station, and more! The built-in gravity sensor responds to the unit's angle and adjusts the display.
Thanks to the TV-out connectors, you can integrate the Cowon S9 into your home entertainment system and enjoy its powerful output on your home entertainment system. 8GB of flash memory holds thousands of songs and hours of video. Support for a variety of audio and video formats -- including lossless FLAC files for pure sound, as well as flash and text -- means you'll never run out of something to do. Voice and line-in recording functions let you record a voice message or broadcast FM for playback later. Bluetooth 2.0 support means you can keep your music to yourself with wireless headphones.
Pros: - Great sound quality. They put a lot more work into sound quality and control then you are gonna find in most MP3 players. Adjustable EQ is a nice feature.
- The OLED screen is amazing. Brightest screen I've ever seen. Just finished watching Pulp Fiction on it in AVI format and it made a great movie even better.
- Good support for music and video formats.
Cons: - GUI has a learning curve, as its not the most intuitive thing to use. It gets better with time.
- The media software that comes with it sucks, but the only thing that you would need to use it for is video conversion.
Other Thoughts: - Download the firmware update. I did this and it give you some extra features, like a widgets page, and the ability to turn the system off with the touchscreen.

Pros: Great MP3 player, easy to navigate, the screen is the best i have seen on an MP3 put in a couple high resolution videos in it and played it clearly and vividly without any lag. The sound is good I went from a 8 band EQ to a 5 band in this MP3 player but still sounds good. The battery life is quite good. Be sure to upgrade to the latest firmare.
When I got my Player in the mail it came with the v 2.09 Firmware and the option to put up custom wallpapers isn't there. Once you upgrade to the latest version you will be able to do so.
Cons: The touchscreen is a little fickle sometimes it wont respond (but that is usually when your hands are too dry to send a charge). Then again.......touch screen technology itself is fickle.
The volume buttons aren't proprietary...if you are somewhere other than the music screen then you will not be able to control the volume (but instead move a cursor around).
Other Thoughts: A good mp3 player the volume control is a bit annoying but still a good player.

Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: -A VERY bright and beautiful screen. Blessings to AMOLED! - Plays more formats than my old Gigabeat S. -Amazing sound quality! -above average battery life.
Cons: -Fingerprints made the screen harder to see, but I have oily fingers. -This thing feels and is incredibly flimsy and cheap feeling, the power button toggle has almost fallen off! That is ridiculous considering the high price tag! - Plays few flash games since it only runs Flash 7 and older. -The interface on mine was slow and continuous crashes forced me to send it back. (I got mine somewhere else)
Other Thoughts: If your looking for a strictly music player, than this is the device to get! I have beryerdynamic DT770 headphones and with my Omega Striker I get beautiful sound on my PC, and this player matched that quality! On the other hand although the screen is a bright and pretty AMOLED, the fact that it is touch screen means you will be getting marks all over it, but I guess touch is the new hotness.
Go elsewhere if your looking for mobile flash content or the ability to watch portable movies on a long flight, because the tiny screen and the playback issues I had made video not worth the trouble.
