Yes, it seems to be. Must be the price of flash memory. Unfortunately at this point it is crazy.

All the specs is on the cowon kr web now, kr.cowon.com/, and 32gb maybe is the limit capacity for now.

Noobie · 12-28-2010, 02:49

Yeah, specs are on the KR SITE!

I'm a Longtime follower and don't post that often, but I just have to share my dissapointment with you people. I've been looking for a player to replace my 7 year old Iriver iHP 140 and I really find it unbelievable that there still isn't a replacement that fullfils my needs.

I was really looking forward to the release of the X7, but since I'm looking for a upgrade the X7 just doesn't live up to that. The size, the screenresolution what was Cowon thinking? I might as well stick to the Iriver. A worthy follow up to the X5, no way!

Now the D3. Although most of the specs are excellent I'm dissapointed by it's size and capacity. I gave my girlfriend a D2 for her birthday a couple years back and I love that player. The size, battery-life and audio quality makes it one of the best player out there. I was hoping for the D3 to follow that concept, but it's too fancy perhaps and too big. I was looking for an dedicated audio player. Sure I can live with the extra's of the D3 :-), but I never bought the D2 for myself because I need capacity.

The lack of capacity really is a issue for me. Nowadays price isn't an excuse anymore. We as consumers can buy 32 GB sdhc for $ 50,00. For Cowon it really shouldn't be a problem to release a 64GB player and since they're offering premium audioplayers, they're in the market for music lovers... And sure we've more than 10 albums. The least they could do is give it a SDXC slot in stead of a normal SD slot. Remember that Apple released a 32 GB flash player 3 years a go!

Being a Iriver and cowon fanatic from day one, I never understood why people would buy an iPod, I really disliked the Apple fanbase since most of the time, they don't now what they're talking about, but I'm affraid I'm going to move over to the dark side as well. I'm gonna stop hoping for Cowon to deliver what I want and settle with the 32GB iPhone 4 my boss gave me for X-mass. I have it filled with music as far as possible and conect it to a Synology NAS through DS-audio to stream from my complete collection when I need to listen to something that's not on the iPhone. There I said it. Damn it's a sad day. I guess I have to live with the sloppy bass and lack of sound-contrast of the iPod and wait another couple of years and see what happens.. Maybe in 2015, you'll never know. On the other hand, I do have AirPlay with this set-up.. A wish I had for the last three years and sadly Apple is the first to deliver...

Oh yeah... I forgot to mention: What really is the benefit of this player compared tot the J3? Most of us have their phone to browse the internet and use apps, etc.. what is Cowon aiming for?

How much would you pay for a 64 or 128gb flash player? Hybrid cars have been out awhile and they're still not that affordable.

Cowon has the 3D and 5VW available with 64GB. In Korea the 64GB 5VW isn't that expensive really. If only they released a D3 with 64 GB.. Well, maybe in a year or so it will be available, like they upgraded the capacity on the D2. We'll see..

Adapada · 12-28-2010, 10:53

On the bright side, it does play .wmv, .avi, .ts, .mp4, .mkv, and .mpg (in addition to others)

If they do a USA 64gb release I'll buy one. If not, then I'll pass.

Sir Loyne · 12-28-2010, 12:44

I see the headphone jack is on the bottom... I'll pass on this one.

doniago · 12-28-2010, 12:58

^Is it really? That's kind of crazy...

Noobie · 12-28-2010, 16:01

I guess the price will be pretty high for my student standards xD
(If it's more than 150$ it's a no go for me hahahaha)
