Cowon Q5 PMP

[poo]

This PMP has not only WiFi and Bluetooth, but HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS data for web browsing over cellular data, DVR functions, GPS with text to speech, an impressively fine 800 by 480-pixel 5-inch touchscreen, FM radio/recorder, voice recording and stereo speakers.

It'll be out by end of Q2 for $500/$550 for 40 and 60 gig models.

And since the image doesn't seem to be working...

I'm waiting and waiting and still waiting for one, and little more waiting to do :>

i thought they said release date in April? must be released in Asia.
we're always the last to get the best

im buying one when its released in 100gb size

 

[Night Surfer]

Very nice.
Tad bulky for my taste, though.
If it won't fit in your pocket it is skirting the "portable" boundary, IMO.

5.5" x 3.5" x .8".....it's roughly the same size as the A2 but with a much bigger screen.

 

[Night Surfer]

I know. I'm just one of those guys...
When they can make an 80GB player that is the size of a Nano or Z5....
then I MIGHT be happy.

Yeah I'm the same way Night Surfer, I have the Cowon D2 and I love it I just wish it was smaller...even though it's pretty tiny..lol...

But the Q5 is awesome....I'd use it in a totally different way then I'm using the D2. I can take the D2 anywhere, anyplace...For me the D2 is at the cutoff of extreme portable MP3 player...any bigger and I wouldn't be using it as a portable...

 

[yourtoys7]

same here, cowon D2 + Iriver Clix2 (portable), Q5 for the rest of time. (car, hotel, train etc.)

Haha. Hardcore player though. Would be tempting if all my funds weren't funneled towards headphones.
