  they should put Sailfish Os on this badboy

 
That would be awesome.

It seems I was right, unfortunately. The highly anticipated new offering from Cowon, the Plenue 1 is nothing but a joke. The hoaxers were playing an early April fools joke . The company instead is being put under administrative shutdown by Korea's regulators. The problem cited due to massive debts incurred by the company, it had no recourse other than put the company to rest. Cowon's share price took a massive drop on the news.

looking forward, probably could replace my 6years old U5 with this

We definitely need more information about this device. I am getting pretty excited about it but lack of information is killing. Especially the price and release date.

I'm interested,... Where's the updates?

Wiht 128 Gb + MicroSD, it will be perfect source for a HUGO !   Let's hope it will exist, and also that will be able to access Google store + WIfi.... so that we can stream Internet radio & Qobuz on it.

I really can't believe people still asking for useless google play store and wifi in a high end dap. Go get a smartphone for these things.
 
If ever high end dap producers start putting wifi and other things in their daps, it will just help increasing their price. I can't understand how people value wifi in daps like that.
 
Does HM901 has wi fi? DX100/R10 had wi fi, how many people used it really? People even complain that it is useless and waste of space in the dap, as an implementation on the board.
 
On the other hand, I also like the P1 so far, capacity is acceptable, nice design, it has digital out too. So pretty good in my view.

People want google play so they can install poweramp and neutron. They also want to stream using wifi. Not much point using android if you're going to cut out all the useful features. 

 

[AmberOzL]

Android can be used as an open software platform that won't crush the player every other minute.
 
If they bring a nice player as a default, who needs poweramp and things.I prefer Cowon to bring a nicely done player not need something extra to work good after getting it. As for streaming, completely useless to me and I really don't see the point of it. Call me oldschool if you want.

Agree.  I just tested streaming High-RES from Qobuz into HUGO, and I was amazed by the quality.  Could'n tell the difference with the same file downloaded on the DAP.  
 
So... Wifi Streaming can be VERY FUN & USEFULL: it open doors to unlimited Music and the joy to discover new music everyday  (Qobuz has everyday the "playlist of the day").
