Cowon Z2 Bluetooth Question

vernacular · 05-29-2012, 16:03

I have heard of it pairing with headsets, but can the Cowon Z2 pair with other bluetooth devices such as video game controllers?

I have seen videos of people playing games or emulators on full screen using a paired bluetooth controller with an Android device, but I can't find any mention of a Z2 or D3 doing this or even running an emulator for that matter. There are a few demonstrations of Z2 running games, but I've only seen a demo of a Cowon Q5W running an emulator and playing with a USB game controller. I am new to Android and I'm not sure how Cowon's OS differs from others.

I really don't think so since the Z2 really has failed at using Android, but it might get better as the days go by. And besides, why would you want to use controllers on the Z2...?

Reason you can't find it is because like i said above, the Z2 is not good with Android and is very new to the world, excluding Korea of course. If it is possible on any of these devices it is more than likely a hack or a mod, or mere illusion if it comes down to that.

I can confirm though, that I've been able to pair the Cowon with my computer for bluetooth file transfer, but no other services seem available for my computer.

In the case with Android devices, you have quite a large variety of devices, running different versions of Android- To be able to use a bluetooth controller seems very typical of Android 3.0+, though. The Z2 runs 2.3.
