Ah I see. I think for me 32GB should suffice. I personally don't need tons of space for a PMP, but it doesn't hurt to have extra in case I want a larger selection of songs.

Has anyone tried one out yet?

I'm desperately waiting for some reviews haha. Someone is selling one for a very low price at where I stay, so I don't really want to miss it. However I'm not sure how it compares with the J3.

Here is a review. I haven't heard of that website before.

I don't know why they rated it 5.5/10 though. They only seemed to be disappointed with the touch-scroll, built-in speaker, and the earphones that come with it (are there any good packaged earphones in media devices nowadays)?

Well, they reviewed it as a "pmp" not as a "uber sounding mp3 player", so of course the low resolution will disappoint them, the lack of other stuff such as an included tv cable orso. I don't think that we should get this site seriously for audio quality (especially if they review players with stock earbuds).

Just got it, using it with E11 + ultrasone dj1 pro. It's ridiculously powerful for something so cheap n slim, but the UI takes a bit to get used to.

Hey...I need to get this..How is the sound quality and at that price..any other players or this one?? and this does have a storage card slot, right?

Nope, iAudio 10 doesn't have microSD slot.

well its cowon so sq is on par with the rest

at its price point I'd say its biggest rivals are probably 2nd hand s9 and j3's

Yeah, Ive heard of the sound quality..Thanks, nonetheless, but I need to test the UI and the touchpad sensitivity..I dont think it compares to an ipod.. I dont have a store to test around where I stay..I gotta buy it to test it..need your views on it..16 gb costs me 170.5 USD..

To be honest, I absolutely hate touchpad anything. I'd much prefer tactile buttons over touchpad. The UI of the cowon takes quite a while to get used to, and I still haven't figured out everything. That being said, I'm well on my way to being accustomed to it. Plus the tactile volume buttons can be reconfigured to skip/rewind tracks in hold mode which is a beautiful touch. 

Oh and touchpad sensitivity can be changed, from 0-4.

Okkk..That sounds interesting..Well..Im on my way to buy one of these..I cant find a better audio quality at this price..and it looks pretty too..:) Thanks anyway..

Does anyone own this player and the S9?  Wondering which is a better all around player?
