Cowon D2 Now Available in the U.S.
If last month's disassembly pictorial of the Cowon D2 had you contemplating a trip to Korea, take a moment now to read the fineprint on your e-ticket. We hope the word "refundable" is there somewhere because the PMP has just been added to virtual shelves throughout North America.
Retailers like Amazon, Buy.com, and B&H all have the 2GB and 4GB players (in black and white) in stock or available for preorder for $190 and $220, respectively. We're not overjoyed at the pricing, but it's actually not too bad given the D2's specs and tasty little touchscreen.

What a player. Fantastic!!. If its video its the D2, If its Music its the D2, If its features its the D2. If its file format compatibilty its again the D2. There isn't a player that does all of these except the D2. It is a very powerful player 37MW per channel and it drives my headphones so well. If you are a music enthusiast and love your music detailed and clear packed with other functionalities, this is the player for you. The extra SD slot even makes it a very attractive player, with 8GB SDHC and MMC+ cards on its way its looking very attractive as a player. I'm using the Shure E500 PTH earphones with this player and it sounds too good to be true. It is also dead to use. You cant get hold of any player with these many features. Its not the most good looking player but it doesn't disappoint. I love this player so much I bought 2 of them 2GB version and the 4GB version.

What are these selling for in Korea? I will be going there soon on business, and might want to pick one up if the price is considerably cheaper.

Looks like an excellent Mp3/PMP player... Shame they didnt add support for Napster to Go and such like, maybe in a future firmware update... please?

Wow! Only $200 for this measly amount of space? You retards have obviously never heard of the XClef music player if you are touting the D2's file format support. The XClef supports many more formats, has much more space, and offers many more features such as line-in recording. Zeto is right also, it has no user-replaceable battery (just like the iPod). I know the iPod sucks, but how can you guys like this Korean piece of garbage more than the iPod? If it's video you're interested in, get the Zen-W by Creative as it can fit more than half of a standard movie and has a widescreen. It may not have a retard-appealing touch screen as this one does, but it makes up for that with 60gb of space.
Keep wasting your money on garbage you stupid consumers, I'm sure you all bought iPods when they came out too.
