I just talked to them as well (using 2 different emails, lol) and they told me that the USA should get the Q5 within this month. I hope this is true

Q5W Specs
http://www.boonco.com/product_info.php?products_id=372

No idea how accurate is this, it is a importer from Singapore

It just looks like a big brother of D2 >.<

[sere83]

There seems to be no mention of DVB-T, Is this still going to be inicluded? If so will the american version have the option? does anyone know?

[foleymi]

I'm disappointed there's no mention of navigation for the US. Hopefully this will be available as an add on. Even with out that it's a great list of codec support. I'm pretty sure I'll be picking on of these up soon.

[remy7]

I need a simple answer and I have not been able to find it. Can the Q5 record from tv or do ou have to purchase something extra?

[vlada]

No it can't, even if you purchased something extra....

It's been answered before.

Interesting conversation I just had with live support from Cowon sales:

Marc:
A few months ago I asked a sales rep from Cowon if the Q5 would have PDA/PIM functions (ie. calendar, contacts, to do list) and I was told that, yes, the Q5 would have these functions. After looking through the specs on your website, I do not see any of these functions listed. Are these not included on this device? If not, can they be added somehow by installing additional programs?
Welcome Marc! Your request has been directed to the Sales Department department. Please wait for our operator to answer your call.
Call accepted by operator Technical Support Team 2. Currently in room: Technical Support Team 2, Marc.
Technical Support Team 2:
these can be added
Technical Support Team 2:
but it seems like it is just not displayed in the specs
Marc:
Are these programs available through Cowon? Or han you recommend where I can get them, or what I would need to look for?
Technical Support Team 2:
this should be available in the player through cowon
Marc:
OK, also, is there a way to make this device act as a DVR like the A2/A3?
Technical Support Team 2:
yes it has this capability
Marc:
So I can record from a source like a tv or dvd player?
Marc:
Also, is there a price set for the GPS version that is coming out in December?
Technical Support Team 2:
yes you can record from those sources. GPS is coming very soon
Technical Support Team 2:
in dec
Marc:
No price though?
Technical Support Team 2:
sorry none at the moment
Marc:
Great, thanks for your help!
Technical Support Team 2:
Thank you for using Cowon America's live support service. We hope the information provided was helpful for you. If you have any further questions you may visit our website and browse our Knowledgebase to search for answers in the future.

I find it odd that the PDA functions are not listed in the specs. And this person says that you CAN record from a source like TV or DVD player, but this is not listed in the spec sheet. Wouldn't you think that DVR functions would be a huge selling point?

[DSAK77]

ill tell you in a couple days, just ordered mine :-)
