well, i was in the market for a brand name media player
i watched Chinese players develop and grow to equal, surpass and fall behind brand names
i was on a mission to see how good branded players were and if it was worth the extra dosh, chinese player got disssed so bad i wanted to see what was on offer elsewhere
So i started with the Cowon S9 player, cost a small fortune in the UK, over £220, i was gutted that i got something that felt like it came from a McD happy meal, it felt cheap and not worth 220, could not live with it and had to send it back, great player though
second chioce, the P3, at nearly 100£ for same capacity similar functions i was happy i had a player worth its money
so far i am very happy with the player and glad to report (but not) that its not perfect either (as was my original mission anyway)
great sound, bad album art browsing

solid feel, great UI (if a little lacking in the UCI dept compared to S9)
all in all i am happy with the P3 so far
