Anyone hear much about this? It looks awesome.

Looks like it will come in 2gb and 4gb sizes with SD expandability. The on screen video search bar makes this sooo appealing to me.

But anyways.

It does look nice, I'd like to see a picture of its actual size though. Cowon doesn't seem to have the need to release any other player's by the looks of it. Probably becuase the X5 series sells so well.

i'd love a successor to the X5 but that doesnt seem like it'll be coming, so i am seriously considering purchasing this.

sorry im a little lost but what you mean with that quote.

the actual size of the D2 is tiny. 78.0 X 55.4 X 16.6 mm (W x H x D)

I think COWON D2 and IRIVER CLIX2 both looks cool and easy to use. But i realy likes Iriver clix2 which are 8GB and thinner.

Technologically speaking this thing is gonna make a killing..

2.4" touch screen and some 52 hours of audio battery life are just the surface..

 

[Brohken]

anyone know how much and where/when it will be available?

 

[rockin_amigo14]

i think it was just recently released in Europe, by I wouldn't expect it to be cheap. I mean the 4GB iAudio 6 was $249, and that was a micro hard drive.

for those interested in more pics.

 

[rockin_amigo14]

listed as 'Coming Soon' at the JetAudio site.

 

[skev13]

exactly what im looking for, screw the iPhone!

 

[timmins]

I'll buy it but only if it will support sdhc cards.

 

[XFxGeforced]

that thing looks awesome. With that touch screen and the utter coolness factor, if this thing sounds as good as my x5, im in

*put rockbox on it and play doom with the touch! itll be like the nintendo ds got surgically seperated and the bottum half went to cowon!

i'm with you. i would get the 4gb model and add a 8gb sdhc card. the reason i got my trekstor vibez is that it offered 12gb with native FLAC support but it is a microdrive. i could get potentially the same size but flash based with the D2... IF it support sdhc.

my tiny f2 is my first cowon DAP and i absolutely love it and totally impressed by the SQ the little bugger pumps out. give me 12gb of flash based memory from them and i am there.

anyone have any idea when we might start seeing high capacity flash players (15gb+)? not sure if i should just continue to wait.

researchers already developed an over 30gb single flash memory chip. Not sure how that's going, but im sure theyll only up it a little at a time to make more money over time.
