But... many tablets do have 3G/4G and phone radio? Oo

Anyway... you're just comparing tablets with a smartphone-like media player. That's quite unfair. :)

edit: Also, I said that 20h is good compared to other smartphones. You should read my previous posts.

dear Kizune,

no spdif this time? I would like you to confirm me that, because if that is true, I will buy the D3 :) (just want it for audio... no games or what so ever)

I don't know. I didn't notice "S/PDIF" in the specs list, but it's possible that there is a Korean word for it so... there's still a chance that the Z2 has S/PDIF.

I just looked at some photos and there are the micro-usb, the sd-card slot and the HDMI-port. HDMI alone sucks, compared to the connector from the D3. The rest of the Z2 is certainly improved and I like it, really!

I like how Cowon just releases products out of the blue! Haha!

Well, I will wait for reviews on this one. I kinda wanna give my loyal S9 a well-deserved retirement but I need something that's at least as good. I'm afraid the battery life is gonna suck hard on the Z2.

Hopefully someone here or anythingbutipod will have a review available in a few days (weeks?).

well, as for the player 20h for music, is not 20h in real life. cowon j3 has 50-60 hours spec, but it can play at most 20. this with flac, brightness at maximum, but with screen off, and on about 5 minutes at 30 minutes. to be fair, even so, i still consider j3 the best.

for this thing? the only thing that it can offer me more than j3 is the jeteffects.

also, kizu, i asked you in what languace you use your j3, because all of your releases are in english.

In Cowon Support page, for Z2 product; following prices (VAT included) are showed:

* COWON Z2 8G : 259,000 KRW
* COWON Z2 16G : 299,000 KRW
* COWON Z2 32G : 339,000 KRW

All I personally would like to add is this is a WIN!!! for a change from Cowon!!! And, this beats the Sony Z-whatever by the fact it has a microSD card slot on board. Nice job Cowon!!! You FINALLY have my attention,...again!!!

PS: It has the SAME controls as the J3!!! I'm selling my SGP 5.0 now!!!

Hehe, and all his posts are in English, but that doesn't mean he speaks English primarily. Imagine what most of us would go through if he released everything in German - it's not that he uses English over German.

Wow, only 190,000? That's cheaper than my J3. Hopefully I'll see this popping up in stores soon.

Is it available to buy in Korea today? Is the hardware on the Z2 newer than the D3? I checked a few websites, and it said they're both from 2010.

Really, the Z2 is just being released, but your asking if they were both released at the same time,...too funny!!![blink]:P[laugh]

so these new jet effects, are we seeing greater quality or just more presets?

cool. if it gets into europe, i think i would like it. as long as it stays cheap

@Alex@lin: Not to burst you're bubble, but the OP had a link to the same pictures and info in his first post. Even still, we appreciate you're intentions.
