Cowon iAudio D2

Cowon's iAudio D2 was a fab little MP3 and video player with features bursting from its elegant seams, but the Korean manufacturer has somehow managed to upgrade it by cramming an entire DAB digital radio in

Sound quality; design; screen quality; wealth of features; DAB radio; format support; SD card support

Tricky menus; touchscreen takes some getting used to; can't record directly to SD card

This upgraded version of the iAudio D2 is a fantastic player with the most sophisticated feature set we've ever seen in an MP3 player, and amazing sound quality to boot. Beginners to portable tech may struggle with the complex menu system though

Cowon's iAudio D2 may not be top of the sales charts but its sleek body, abundance of features and multitude of sound-adjustment options ensure it's a quality compact MP3 player

Sleek and compact design; lovely, touch-sensitive screen; plenty of features, including video playback, voice recording and FM tuner; handy stylus/kickstand; sound quality is great

Pricier than similarly featured MP3 players; slightly heavy; touchscreen interface won't appeal to all users, specifically active ones

If you can get on board with the Cowon D2's PDA-like touchscreen interface, the reward is great-sounding audio, a smorgasbord of features and a fantastic battery life

The Cowon Q5W is a portable media player with a stunning 5in touchscreen display and built-in Wi-Fi capabilities.

The Cowon Q5W works well enough for listening to music and watching video, but you'll need patience and some technical savvy to achieve more complex tasks, such as loading content over a secure wireless network. While the player has much potential, it fee...

A tiny music player and digital radio

Radio and music player work well, Radio and music player work well, Great display

Can't use own headphones for digital radio, Can't use own headphones for digital radio

An impressively tiny DAB radio and multimedia player, but it's a shame you have to stick with the supplied headphones.

It's one of the best sounding players Jon's come across but is it a DAB hand at radio?

Whatever way you look at it, the D2 DMB is an extremely capable MP3 player. The touch-screen is good, the video playback stunning and the battery life brilliant. It has expandable memory, and the sheer range of settings and capabilities is second to none....

It may be small, but the iAudio D2 sure packs a lot into its slight frame. Not only does this compact gizmo play audio and video files, but it also features an FM tuner and SD/MMC card reader slot

Great performance, lots of features, Lots of features

Fiddly stylus, Picky with WMV files

With truly outstanding audio, rare features and terrific touchscreen technology, the iAudio D2 offers excellent value

compact, touch-sensitive multimedia player

This is a great little media player, which can provide hours of entertainment from both audio and video and is particularly easy to use, thanks to its touch-screen. Given its feature set, it's also very reasonably priced. All we could wish for now is a D2...

Cowon are back with a bang and this time they are pitching an ultra small PMP the D2. This latest additional to their line up plays audio for over 50 hours and video for 8 hours, the question is can you live with a PMP this small?

Cowon's touch-screen-based player works well for audio on the go, but we wouldn't want to watch video on it for more than a few minutes.

In this way, Cowon's device fails to live up to the "portable multimedia player" label engraved on its case. The D2 is an expensive flash audio player that flirts with multimedia, but ultimately will appeal only to people enchanted by the novelty of using...
