Abstract: Last October we announced the soon to be released in Korea and Japan Cowon O2, a new PMP thats arguably the most powerful compact PMP yet available.Whats so special about this new PMP?The most impressive thing is its capacity to accept almost ANY vid...
Plays most video files without the need to transcode; SD-card slot for easy storage expansion; bright, crisp screen
Uninspired interface; audio-playback issues; no ID3-tag support
The Cowon O2 lets you play video content on the go without the major hassle of converting files. But its basic interface and lack of file-tag support, as well as its audio-playback issues, make it more of a one-trick pony than the versatile PMP it sho...
Great format support; superb audio; excellent media control
No wireless; display could have been better
The O2 offers some clear advantages over the competition Good points Great format support; superb audio; excellent media control Bad points No wireless; display could have been better ...
Here we have Cowon’s newest flash-memory based PMP which certainly evokes comparisons to a hypothetical “D3”, a successor of the Cowon D2 (at least in theory). It has the same basic design (yet bigger), a touch screen interface, and an SDHC slot. Ho...
Though it may not have internet browsing capabilities or much in the way of advanced features, the Cowon O2 is a solid portable media player. Thanks to its support for a wide range of file types, you'll spend less time trying to convert videos from on...
Supports a multitude of photo, music, and video formats, Exceptional audio and video quality
Chunky form factor; no Wi-Fi support, Doesn’t support VOB and QuickTime files, Can’t play encrypted audio or video tracks, *

Excellent file support. Large display. Voice recorder. Comparatively affordable.
Despite its large size, the player has no hard drive, only flash memory. No Internet access. Touch screen requires stylus. Few extra features.
The O2s file support is fantastic, and it is cheaper than its two main competitors, the iPod touch and the Archos 5—but it packs far fewer features into its inexplicably large frame....
Large touchscreen display, Supports most A/V formats, Good sound enhancements, SD/SDHC Card slot
Music not sorted by ID3 tags, No DRM support, Lacks Wi-Fi, TV-out cable costs extra
Though its touch interface doesn’t match that of the iPod touch, the $219 Cowon O2 is a good choice for those who want a bigger display, broader format support, and expandable memory—but find the Archos 5 too large and expensive. The inability...
Nigh never ending battery exceeds 8 hours in life. This polyglot reads more media file types than we care to list. Compatible with Mac, PC, and Linux; no infantile media applications irritate or limit you. SD slot lets you easily boost storage space
Cowon axed the cool AVin video recording and the FM radio. Tinny, tiny speaker is weak, easily muted by a misplaced finger. Manual switching to headphones is an extra, bothersome step. Wobbly standcumstylus's elastic lanyard gets in the way, but you'll lo
