Portable Video Players: Cowon A2
Another review of the Cowon A2 portable video player, this time by PC Magazine and not so favorable, although they have emphasized different features:
Bottom line: Though you get a lot out of this portable media player/recorder, video recording was somewhat disappointing.
Pros: Clean design. Good audio quality. Built-in widescreen LCD is clear and sharp. Photos look very good. Excellent battery life.
Cons: Recorded VGA video is jumpy. Maximum video recording bit rate isn’t high enough. Non-removable battery. No remote.
The Cowon A2 is a portable media player/recorder with a 30GB hard drive, a widescreen 4-inch LCD, and an integrated FM tuner. Its video and audio playback capabilities are good, the design is attractive, and the interface is fairly easy to use, but we’re a bit disappointed in what we feel is the device’s main feature: video recording. There are also some file-compatibility issues that need to be worked out before we can get really excited about this product.
