How long do you think it takes until a release?

 

[Townyj]

I think the J3 got its FCC approval somwhere around 14th January 2010. It was released 29th March. I think we will have this device somewhere around the end of October.

Was it released on march? Damn, the J3 hasn't hit Sweden until recently. Basically I'm looking for a release in 6-8 months

The release date was from Korea... Personally I was thinking about buying it over Ebay from some Korean seller (the X7). I cannot wait for the release in Europe, because this needs much more time.

I hope that it will be a portable player, not transportable.
I mean, there are 5" HDD-based devices (Cowon A3 for example) with sole purpose of playing video... it would be of no interest if cowon releases such a monster.

not before the end of the year

It seems that the x7 needed some approval for the korean launch. Well the x7 got it. Also they talk about the 80GB version. Seems to be the start version. I hope there will be some with a bigger hd.

Yeah, this would not be enough for me too. 250GB would be perfect.

Cowon could just send us the players without the harddrives,  for less money ofc. Then we could do as we please...alas, that would be perfect

80gb is a hell of a lot of music when you consider it wasn't all that long ago we'd go out with a single disc in our discman or a single cassette in our walkman. 80gb of FLAC is something like 200-250 albums.

 

[j57park]

I'd be more than happy with 80gb. Anything over that for me wouldn't be worth it unless price wasn't somehow affected.
 
But I hope they make compatibility with mac a LOT LOT better. I don't expect ipod-level compatible but at least not bricking during drag&drop
