Summary: Enter the newly released C2. As I said, do not try to make sense of Cowon's naming schemes – the C2 is ‘the real D3', so to speak. It actually is still more of a D2 than anything else – basically the same hardware, the same form factor, the same...

Conclusion: The Cowon C2 is a very good audio player, packed full of features and top notch sound tweaks. It would be a decent video player too, but the low-res 4:3 screen isn’t really up to today’s standards. Resistive touch controls are also a bit dated for...

Summary: And here you were assuming the tried-and-true PMP was dead. Au contraire. Cowon's not giving up on its dream quite yet, but after the D2 hung around at the company's low-end for the better part of four years, it's an alphabetic step backwards that's...

Conclusion: Can't beat the audio quality, and it's as cute as a button. Just don't forget to pack Cowon's proprietary charging adapter.

Pro : Wildly small ; 16GB of inbuilt storage + microSD slot ; World-class audio quality
