In this month’s update, we concentrate on the excellent Cowon iAudio range of players and the incredible price reductions we’re recently introduced.
Please feel welcome to copy and use any of the text below.
iAudio 7 MP3 Player
The 7 is iAudio’s entry-level player, but has a heavyweight set of features. It has audio support for a huge variety of files (more than any other player we sell) and the audio quality is top-notch. The only players on the market that sound better are the D2 below and arguably the iRiver Clix 2 – which are both in different price brackets.
The real headline is the battery life, however – 60 hours of audio playback on a single charge. There’s nothing on the market today that has this quality and comes close to iAudio’s battery technology.
Prices have now been slashed – with over £100 off the 16GB version:
4GB - £79.00 (save £30) 8GB - £99 (save £50) 16GB - £129 (down from RRP of £234.95!)
iAudio D2 MP3 Player
More of a mini-personal media player. The same stunning audio file support as the iAudio 7, with added 2.4” touch screen. It’s capable of playing 16.7 million colour videos on it’s display, in high quality DivX. Battery stamina is almost as stunning as the iAudio 7, with 52 hour continuous audio playback.
Also complete with FM radio (with recorder) voice recording and a variety of tools (calculator, flash player) it’s the most complete player on the market. Capacities range from 4GB to 16GB – all of which have an SD card slot, using which you can add up to another 16GB!
Prices, as with the whole iAudio range, have tumbled:
4GB - £99.99 (save £56) 8GB - £129 (save £60) 16GB - £159 (new product)
iAudio D2 DAB MP3 Player
The D2 DAB shares all of the advantages and features of the D2, but adds a DAB digital radio. It’s one of the few on market and it’s definitely one of the best. Clarity and quality are superb, matched to the unbelievable sound reproduction achievable with the D2 chipset – a real winner!
Prices are stunning, as DAB technology still commands a real premium:
4GB - £139.00 (save £30) 8GB - £179.00 (save £30)
Cowon A3 PMP
A powerhouse Personal Media Player. Capable of playing almost any video format without having to re-encode – the player is capable of hi-def output to a TV. In fact, one of the player’s real strengths is it’s connectivity – everything is included in the box to allow TV recording (any video source, in fact) as well as connecting back to a large display.
Quality is incredible – 800x480 pixel screen gives the greatest clarity in the market sector, and sound is simply the best available anywhere. Battery stamina is superb at 7 hours playback for video with a single charge – again, class-leading.
Prices are stunning, bearing in mind the inclusion of all interconnects and recording capability (which other manufacturers sell separately)
30GB - £239 (save £40) 60GB - £279 (save £40) 80GB - £299 (new product)
Cowon Q5 PMP
Not really accurate to call it just a PMP – although that’s what it’s designed to specialise in. The Q5 is a full-on tablet PC, running Windows CE. That means it’s got Word, Excel & Powerpoint on the unit – it runs a full version of Internet Explorer and can function as a full PC (you can even plug a keyboard and mouse into the full-size USB port) It’s got Wifi connectivity and even Bluetooth to pair with wireless headphones and other peripherals.
However, it’s video and audio where it really comes into its own. A 5” touch screen lets you control it using its superb touch interface – video quality is the best anywhere and the audio is as good as the A3 above. It is the most sophisticated, best quality portable media device available anywhere.
Prices – bearing in mind you’re buying a video optimised, full on PC, the prices are impressive:
40GB - £299 (save £100) 60GB - £349 (save £90)
