[McBunny]

cowon. mate at work (sits next to me has one)....apparently bested only by (shockingly) the sony x series... look nice, OLED etc. the OS on it is quite cool. one nice feature is no recoding for your files... 1080 mkv works on it apparently. tried a 10gig one and it works, mental....not that its any benefit at all ...absolutely wste of time doing it but still

hate to have a seperate mp3 player in this day an age...but SQ wise those are the top

yeh saw ur link was just saying i've had experience of one in the flesh. apparently dolphin music are doing a trade in, if you swap in an old cowon they'll give you money off the s9...not sure if it's relevant to you though. Other friend @ sony has the x series. it's nice too but i prefer the look and use of the cowoon. x seires supposedly better sq
