Cowon O2 (16GB, black) review

By (cnet.com)

The Cowon O2 is an affordable and powerful portable media player with outstanding audio and video format support, a large touch-screen display, impressive battery life, and SDHC memory expansion

Screen resolution is disappointing on the Cowon O2; menus lack ID3 tag sorting; DRM-protected WMA and WMV formats won't play; videos must be bookmarked manually; there's no FM radio; no video recording; and the player's all-plastic construction is ...

The Cowon O2 isn't flashy, but it's an incredible value for a convenient way to take your video library on the go without the hassle of converting files.

COWON O2 4.3" Black 16GB MP3 / MP4 Player

By N/A (newegg.com)

This player is perfect for video enthusiasts. I do not need internet, or online stores, just video playback and it does this well. You may have to encode to get videos running smoothly, but there are plenty of free ones out there. No IDv3 tag sorting is r...

Able to play back a multitude of video and audio file types. High Definition is more beautiful than you would assume due to the low resolution screen. Colors are bright and vivid. Text reader is perfect for book-lovers. Sound quality is brilliant. Video b...

Low Resolution screen leads to pixelation with close inspection. Screen is reflective, attracts fingerprints, and dust. Firmware is unfinished causing playback issues with several filetypes. Thick (but its a video player what would you expect?). No IDv3 t...
