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...

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    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.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

  • Cowon iAudio D2
    Cowon iAudio D2

    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.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely. Check out our review.
