Cowon O2 (8GB, white) 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.

"Plays many video formats from MPG1 through DivX"

By craig.knapp1 (cnet.com)

I really like the fact that the Cowon O2 auto... 

Plays the widest variety of audio and video files I have seen in a PVP, great equalizer, audio files sound great

Nothing to complain about. It is a PVP and it does what it says. Not sure why the CNET review gives it a "ding" for not recording, it is a PVP not a PVR

Really good video quality. The best sounding music player on the market. Well built. Huge album art display

No gapless playback yet(cowon frequently updates FW). No component or HDMI out. Audio while watching videos and movies is flat
