Simply Great

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Picture quality, battery life, sound quality, ease of use, menuing, capacity, etc. Even the ear buds are passable.

Any comment I would have would be on the Pros side.
Cons: None yet. At all.
Other Thoughts: I purchased this from Newegg a month ago and have used it while commuting every day since I got it. I have put 1700 songs on it and somewhere around 15 movies, all at one time. Definitly helps pass the time on the train.

What I like about it most is that it seems to play anything I put on it. There is no built in DRM garbage on it so I can use whatever files I deem desireable. I considered waiting to hear the specs on the MS Zunie device, but finaly caved in and got this. Glad I did since the Zunie is all tied up with DRM and has a smaller screen.

This is a device that will not disappoint.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Plays back every file I have perfectly. Expansive set of options for every category. Easy viewing of pictures, movies, and text. Excellent battery life. Auto downmuxes 5.1 sound to 2 flawlessly.
Cons: No H.264 support (not that I was expecting it), system can become a little slow to react during movies (not surprising considering the amount of processing taking place for the movie), A/V out doesn't use whole screen.
Other Thoughts: Player can become a little warm during movie playback, but it's not too hot. Latest firmware update 1.91 lots of little annoying bugs. Can be downloaded from http://www.cowonglobal.com

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Sound quality, Battery life, works as portable HD (no software/install needed), multiple features, 4" screen, plays .Xvid & .DivX & .avi. nice built in mic and line in recording, recent price drop.
Cons: not all mp4 videos types work, you'll have to convert them, battery drains while hooked up to computer, everyone asks you if its a iphone, interface and joystick is . . . okay
Other Thoughts: choose not to wait for A3 (its expected to have shorter battery life). To me one of the biggest sellers is that it doesn't tie you down with any software or copyright garbage (I use winamp to manage it).
