Need a new DAP with good video playback options and decent SQ for music. I think I have narrowed it to these 3 but cant seem to break the tie. Here are my thoughts. Maybe someone can add something I have missed
all players have a nice screen and about the same storage capacity.
Cowon J3 16gb - $240
Pros: superior SQ. BBE. expansion slot for multiple video library options and theoritcally infinite expansion. great battery life. flat form factor. built in speaker. drag and drop access.
Cons: at $240 for 16gb it is the most expensive player in my list. lower on board capacity
Cowon S9 32gb - $205
Pros: Superior SQ. BBE. 32gb of space is decent. really good battery life. drag and drop access
Cons: no speaker, no expansion slot. curved form factor seems like it may be a pain.
Zune HD 32gb - $200
Pros: SQ at least similair to the zune 120 I am coming from. wifi web browsing. HD radio. good battery life. zune pass if I ever decided to do it.
Cons: zune software required. EQ not as good as cowons. no expansion slot
