I am planning on purchasing a D2 very soon, as soon as I sell my iriver H340.

Awesome, I have heard some good things coming out of cowon recently

TBH considering apple have jumped on the gapless bandwagon it would be shameful if cowon didn't!!!

Big mistake they made...not being able to play m4p(drm'd AAC files). You would think with the amount of coverage iTunes has, you would make a player that is capable of playing it....

You can bet iTunes is one of the reasons that other DAPs don't sell, cause you can't use it with iTunes.

That and I'm tired of not being able to transfer files to my other DAPs!!!

Yes, but isn't this the fault of Apple not licensing its DRM encryption to third-parties? My personal solution is to purchase only DRM-free music (thank you, eMusic), but I realize that's not much of a help where you're coming from...

I'm glad to hear that a new high-capacity music player will finally be rolling down Cowon's assembly lines, but also a fair bit skeptical that they'll make the right moves with it.

@condamned: no, I traded it away due to my need for more storage space.

In order to play the DRM Apple music, wouldn't the other companies have to pay a licensing fee?

Agreed! they would have ton more cust., that don't like/ don't want or just would like to add 2nd to collection.

This is really great news! I really do prefer my F2 over my Rockboxed Nano! Cowon has one downside, they do not ship to Canada which is kinda annoying.

Well there is some news: http://mp3.generationmp3.com/2010/08/11/le-cowon-x7-refait-parler-de-lui/
 
It seems that it will have a 1,8' hdd, which is equal to large storage compared to our silicon storage companions. There is also some rumor about android as os too.

 

[ppmd]

Wow, good find.
Looking forward to hearing more news about this device.

I took a look on the bluetooth.org website, where generationmp3 gathered their info. It takes 2 - 3 months to release a product from the date of their listing, well for korea. This does not bother me,  just import it. The x7 could be released somwhere around the end of October.

Great news!!! Hopefully it is true and use an Android firmware, too.

[violinvirtuoso]

Tempted, should I get a Cowon J3, D3, or X7? So many choices...
