Sexiest looking DAP yet. I really like the form factor for this, looks like a child born with the perfect genetics between the ^10 and A810 family.
Looks to be more of a successor of the S610 rather than a direct successor to the A810 family (design wise) however, but it doesn't matter since both those DAPs look sexy anyway X3~~~
So in line to get one...
Does anyone want a Cowon D2? <_<;

taking in to account creative has lowered the 32gb zen to 350, and samsung is gonna realease a 16gb P2 for 250-300 also for end of Q1 or start of Q2, the 350 price tag might be hard to push,
The 16GB A919 (looks very similar to the A820s) is about ¥35000, which is around $328. I think they're the same feature-wise, minus some features. I know that the A919 has that 1seg/ワンセグ TV broadcasting thing, so that can probably bring the price down a bit assuming it does not appear in the A820s.
...now I'm in a dilemma: wait for the A820s and return the A818 that's coming my way, or enjoy the A818s for now.

Beautiful player....To bad there wasn't an 80gb hard drive stuck in there...and the ability to play lossless....and the ability to have a line-out without a dock...Then I would most certainly buy one.....Oh well I can always dream...
