Cowon D3 Plenue Review

 

Many reviews have already been written about the Cowon D3. Mine's certainly late to the party, but for good reason: after seeing the somewhat underwhelming performance of the D3 with its initial Android 2.1 firmware, I told myself to wait until the...

Excellent S-AMOLED screen (Pentile RGBG matrix might take some time getting used to, though) ; Excellent audio quality ; Supports almost all video codecs/containers, up to 1080p ; Supports all the most relevant audio formats ; System-wide BBE sound...

Outdated, underpowered ARMv6/ARM11 CPU, slow for processor intensive tasks ; Very slow boot-up ; Lacks ‘deep’ sleep mode and global sleep timer ; Superfluous ‘slide to unlock’ screen, annoying ‘media scanning’ and ‘USB connected’ pop-ups ; Video...

Review: Cowon D3 Plenue Android PMP

 

The Cowon D3 Plenue is a PMP first and an Android device second, a distant second. It's important that you remember that in the right order and adjust your expectations accordingly. If you don't, then you'll end up where I am: waist-deep in a pool of...

Cowon D3 Plenue

 

The Cowon D3 Plenue represents a very desirable intersection between a smartphone and an MP3 player. It plays music well, but it does so much more than that – offering internet access, free phone calls and access to thousands of apps and games. This...

This unit will play almost any video or audio file format

Unlike most of its competitors, this device doesn't have a built-in camera

Sound and picture quality are superb, but this unit lacks some features, including great customer service.

good

 

The Cowon D3 Penue 32 GB 3.7 inch MP# Player with Android, works rather well. There are a few moments where it does lag, but not for too long.

Simple Review

 

I'm going to give a simple review and cut directly to the chase... Pros: Sound is amazing, has several audio settings that allow user preferences. Much better than Ipods. Android system stable and easy to use. Lots of storage for the price. Cons: No...

Ugh

 

If this MP3 worked properly, it would be a dream come true. I wanted a lot of storage for my music and I used the bluetooth transmitter on this to play music in my car. When it worked, it was great. But, it often freezes up, screen turns green, buttons...

Good Mp3 for the price

 

Received item in good packaging condition and start using it with the included apps. The design of this Mp3 is very good and the interface is excellent compared to other Mp3. One of the feature I like was the screen which is HD and I loaded some...

A Piece of Crap - Don't Spend Your Money

 

You will not find any usable instructions with this thing - you'll have to read on-line reviews and blogs to figure out how to work it. Have an Android phone and think you've got it figured out? - this thing is so counter-intuitive that it will drive...
