4GB Cowon iAudio Flash DAPs

cowon-logo.jpg

It looks like November won't just be about turkey and cranberry sauce this year. Crave, CNET's gadget blog, just received word that Cowon America plans to release 4GB versions of their iAudio F2, U3, and T2 digital audio players sometime next month for an undisclosed price.

Sure, it's not up to speed with Apple, SanDisk, and Creative's 8GB flash DAPs, but it's a whole lot better than the 2GB capacities that used to max out the iAudio line. And that's something to be thankful for.

You can say that again!!! Too bad Cowon didn't announce an i6 with 4gb flash. That would have been some real competition

Prices...?
I may get the U3 in 4 gigs if the price is fit.

and still no replacement for the iAudio X5 - which is what many people are crying out loud for. the array of small devices is now confusing. and the X5 is aging (and i won' buy one due to its dodgy joystick)

someone from cowon confirmed to me via email that no replacement will be announced before CES 2007. a long time to wait then ...

Better late than never.. nice to see the cap bump. Cowon makes such great players, wish we would see them in better distribution here in the US. CES should bring us some interesting goodies...

    The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.

  • Toshiba Gigabeat T400

    The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.

  • SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

    JAYS q-JAYS

    The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
