» Cowon W2, Intel Atom-powered MID revealed
Jan 08, 2010 - 4:39 AM - by Dominic

I decided to check out Cowon's site tonight and guess what I saw? Well, besides the barrage of pop-ups (seriously Cowon?), they've put up a teaser page for the Cowon W2. A few months back, DAPreview.net reported on the W2, which was outed by some Bluetooth certification documents. It's a MID device, which is what everyone seems to be making these days. The W2 has a really clean brushed metal design, and is being powered by an Intel Atom processor. They haven't provided the full specs yet, but here's what we have so far:

W2 Features

Display 4.8" Touchscreen LCD (1024 x 600 resolution)
Processor Intel Atom 1.33GHZ CPU
OS Windows 7
Other Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Speakers
Connections USB/USB-mini,
  Ethernet Port/Monitor Out (via cable)
  Component/Composite Out (via cable)

Yeah, like I said, not much to really go on so far. We'll update you as soon as we find out more.

» Cowon iAudio 9 Unboxing
Nov 17, 2009 - 6:48 AM - by Dominic

Hopefully those who get a kick out of unboxings will enjoy this post. In recent years Cowon have been getting more and more economical with their packaging solutions, much in the same way Apple inc. have reduced their packaging requirements to the bare minimum. Cowon have gone from butt ugly cardboard boxes, to horrible vacuum packs, to mildly attractive cardboard boxes and now to this elegant, well thought out clear plastic shell.

I was as surprised as anyone when I received this wonderfully presented i9 in the post, I just don't think of Cowon and pretty in the same sentence. I'm old school though, and to me Cowon represent the geek's favourite tech - so I always forgave their lacklustre packaging, but it seems we are moving on to a new era in techgeekness, and that's damn cool.

» Cowon S9: Ceramic White
Jul 14, 2009 - 6:57 AM - by Dominic
Today Cowon Korea have unveiled images of their new "Ceramic White" Cowon S9, that brings to 3 the amount of colour variations you, the consumer, can choose from between this new white one, the original "titanium" one and of course the easily scratched "black chrome" one.

Apart from this extra colour not much has changed since the last firmware release, but knowing Cowon I think we can expect a few more features to be added by firmware upgrade (bluetooth profiles maybe?) before this white model hits either the US or European (and further) markets.

Cowon S9 Nominated by T3magazine: Music Product of the Year

On a side note, much like AMP3's joyous nomination it appears that the Cowon S9 has been nominated under the category of "Music Product of the Year". This was posted in our forums by ryan5268 earlier in the week - in fact he posted the day I was going to put it on the front page, so damn you ryan for stealing my thunder! Get voting folks, it's open to every one.

» Current Poll: We need your feedback
Jul 03, 2009 - 5:59 AM - by Dominic
Hi all, right now we're running a poll which is somewhat hypothetical but may impact on the future of cowon products. I'm sure you all want to give your opinions so please do, submit your vote and post a reply, the more feedback the better!

Like I say, the results of this poll may have future repercussions but thank goodness we, the users of Cowon products, are getting the opportunity to have our say. That's better, I think, than a sudden change with a backlash of moaning

Please do vote and post a reply in the poll/thread below: (click)


If future Cowon products do not have WMDRM support, would you still buy them?
