price is much lower than i thought it would be.
wonder when it'll be released here in the states.

slickgino · 08-06-2008, 22:54

Cheaper than Q5

DO WANT
and i can afford it too

I would'nt get too excited Jeff Ham from Cowon in an answer to an e-mail I sent related that he did not believe that the p5 would be released to the states, he did not mention other countries. I hope he's wrong.

I found a website that seems to say differently, but i'm not sure how reputable they are

http://www.dapreview.net/news.php Posted on the 24/07/2008

Features:

Capacity: 60 or 80GB
Display: 5.0" touchscreen (800 x 480, 18M colors)
Audio: MP3, WMA, Ogg, FLAC, and WAV (plus AC3 support for movies)
Video: DivX, Xvid, MPEG4, WMV up to 720 x 480 at 30fps (plus TV-out)
DMB Tuner
Bluetooth built-in
Optional Wi-Fi add-on (USB Dongle)
FM tuner and recorder
Runs on Windows CE 5.0
Battery life: 14 hours for audio, 9 hours for video
Dimensions: 138.8 x 88.5 x 20.0 mm

There's so much I love about this new player. From the cutting edge industrial design, to the very user-friendly interface. The Premium P5 is currently available in Korea, and should be arriving in N. America later this year. It looks like Cowon has another great player on their hands, I just hope I can afford to put it in mine

When someone from Cowon or someone like cnet or other reputable review sites says it's coming then I'll believe it. I like the P5, but I hate the idea of a wifi dongle. If it does come to the states I hope that wifi is internal as in the q5.

Morfesto · 08-08-2008, 16:45

I hope the wifi is not internal.

The Q5W has issues with the wifi and signal strength and because it's internal there is nothing you can do about it.

revmike · 08-08-2008, 18:11

I don't have a problem with mine, either at home or on other sites.

dapreview.net is the sister site of iaudiophile.net.

Of course P5 is not coming to US, P5W is

revmike · 08-08-2008, 18:31

That's OK with me as long as it dosen't have that stupid looking dongle, that you have to stick in the side for wifi.

fishcube · 08-22-2008, 09:57

Any English sources for buying? Or at least overseas source that has english website?

Are there any reviews yet?

revmike · 08-22-2008, 11:34

I thought you were going to buy the new archos 5?

Do you know where to buy the "standard" version, not the Study version?
The Study version do not have Bluetooth and TV-out function, and everywhere I found they only sell P5 Study, thanks
