As some thought, the new media player that Cowon has invented promises a great performance and the people of the United States can now put to the test.There will be released this week at a price of 549 dollars (40GB). Perhaps for some is somewhat high, but it seems pretty reasonable if you look at the functionality of the equipment. The Cowon Q5W has a fantastic touch screen that is characterized by 5 inches and has a resolution of 800 x 400 pixels. One advantage is that it supports almost any codec, and can access a large number of formats like DivX, XviD, AVI, ASF, WMV9, MPEG4, GMOs, Ogg, FLAC and APE. And what makes their system uses the Windows CE 5.0 Professional.

This monster has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and also has FM radio, voice recorder and the ability to read text files. The battery has a range of 7 hours and the model with 60GB of memory has a value of 599 dollars.

And I say this because in the light of the star logo that looks at its design, this may seem perfectly multimedia player NASD Technology relates to the house Mercedes Benz, when in fact it is only inspired by it, without any relation with the house of cars.

Outside part of its design, the player Model NS-2010 has no major developments: TFT 2 inch screen , plays MPEG-4, WAV, MP3 and WMA. It has integrated FM radio, e-book function, recorder and accepts SD cards.

What you see in photo is a new product developed from the iLuv: portable a video MP3 & DVD player with Touch Sensitive Controls. The player is equipped with 8.4 ? wide-screen TFT LCD, and it has has transparent protective screen as well as neat light-emitting touch sensitive function keypad controls. The ipod accessory looks pretty useful but disappointedly it isn’ t compatible with the iPod Touch, iPod Classic (80GB, 160GB). We can at least hope it will work with the iPhone. The Portable Video MP3 & DVD Player will be available for $275 around October 15th.
