Yeah I'm still using my one, bought about 5 years ago. I've had a bunch of players since then, so this has been pretty much untouched between 2007-2009. Rockboxed it, of course, the stock firmware was horrible. still, the response time for the HDD to react to commands on the interface is a bit...

I don't think firmware updates will help as Android is not their own software...all they can do is scale back their own customized skins and what not to reduce stress on the processor and RAM. But if the hardware itself cannot handle stock Android (that is, without any added customizations), no...

the nail in the coffin is this browser comparison video with the zune hd:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzaXMH2I73c   As I remember, the ZHD browser wasn't that great to begin with back when I had it (FW 4.5) but it flies compared to the D3, rendering pages faster and shifting...

why is the battery life so low? cowon have always managed to combine good audio quality with high battery life. 

I hope the player is priced more reasonably than the X7, which is too expensive IMO for what it offers. Certain android apps would be very useful for the gym, such as stopwatches/timer apps like Ultrachron Stopwatch. That, plus MicroSD expandability and physical track/volume controls would make...

came across this on engadget this morning. very disappointing, as I've been following this thread for a while.    CONS: Resistive touchscreens are NOT as smooth and finger-friendly as capacitive. I've used both types (HTC TP2 phone and Ipod Touch/Zune HD). Doesn't even compare. Every...

Very exciting if real. I recently returned a Zune HD 32GB after some consideration. Loved the UI and everything about it really, but realized that a HDD player would be more suitable for my needs. I have heard many good things about Cowon's products, but was disappointed that the best UIs for...

interesting....at first i thought the X7 was never going to happen.   then, i thought since Cowon had migrated entirely to Flash memory players, the X7 would be a 7-inch behemoth designed to compete with Archos and replace their own A2/3 and other large video-centric PMPs.   Very pleased...

excellent deal. I just signed up. Amazon Prime is really awesome, I was sad when my month-long trial ended in April. Nice to get it again for a year. :)

thanks for the info. I think I'll go ahead and get it. I was planning on waiting for the Fiio E7, but I'm thinking that this is good enough for right now. I don't mind the USB only input. I don't use amp/DAC stuff on my portable set up. On-the-go, I use a Blackberry Bold 9700 with Sennheiser...

yeah, i know, sorry if I didn't make that clear. Do you think the HotAudio Destroyer DAC will be a good match for MS20 monitors as well as Sennheiser HD201s? I know the equipment is fairly low-end, but I'm coming from a world of computer speakers, non-audiophile headphones and integrated laptop...

the USB to digital out converter sounds like a good option at some point. For now though, I'm just trying to determine whether the HotAudio Destroyer is better suited to headphones than speakers. At this price range, do you think that it would be a good option to get this (RCA+Headphone out...

Hi I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the HotAudio DAC destroyer, as it's at the perfect price range for a newbie, and has gotten good reviews on this site. I plan on mainly using them with my Behringer MS20 studio monitors using the RCA out rather than using the headphone out. I will...
