Good touchscreen implementation; long battery life; fast transfer speed; expansion card slot; supports up to 4GB SD card. Scratchy radio reception on certain stations; slight lag during picture viewing. The D2 is a great portable video player for those lo

The Cowon D2 packs a lot of functionality into one very small device. It offers superb battery life and some powerful audio and video chops. The company's name might not ring a bell, but this is one of the best flash-based PMPs yet.

If you’re tired of the regular ipod, try the Cowon D2. It’s a touch screen beauty that simply make your ears sing!

Its intuitive touchscreen interface, long battery life, and excellent sound quality make it a compelling PMP.

The D2 is supremely versatile, it sounds fabulous, and it’s certainly priced right. Oh, what we wouldn’t give to trade its highfalutin touch screen for a simple control wheel and a couple of buttons.

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.

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 has done a great job of separating itself from the competition simply by adding the touch-screen capability available in the D2. If not for the touch-screen, I would definitely recommend the 4 GB iRiver Clix over the D2, but the touch-screen adds an

Overall, this is one of the most versatile and satisfying players out there; the battery life alone is worth the price. You’ll get a lot more out of the D2 if you know what you’re doing. If not, you may want something with a simpler interface, like the ir

An astoundingly versatile little player and a genuine threat for the iRiver U10. Only some poor design choices and compatibility issues hold it back from pocket domination

While the D2 may lack the wow factor of some bigger and better specified players, as Flash-based PMPs go this is one of the best, and at just £120 there's no excuse not to buy one.

Like most Cowon players, this offers superb sound. The headphones aren't great, but replace them and you get impressive resolution, a big bag of bass, and scope for whacking the volume up to tinnitus-inducing levels.

La partie vidéo n'est pas le fort du Cowon D2. La partie audio est, en revanche, un délice : très bonne autonomie, son équilibré, profond et clair... Un bémol pour les utilisateurs exigeants, il faut remplacer le casque fourni avec l'appareil.

The Cowon D2 is a neat little media player for music, photos and video. It has an FM radio built in, too, plus a microphone for recording notes and meetings - yet the whole package isn't much bigger than a box of matches (and no, we don't mean those massi

I can't give the D2 a 5/5 overall. The GUI or graphic user interface leaves something to be desired. While the more recent firmware allows you to upload custom made GUIs, the touch screen can be finicky for someone with larger fingers, and no amount of ti

Should DMB television broadcasts come to Australia any time soon, gadgets such as the Cowon iAudio D2 DMB could be pretty hot stuff. As it is, the less than impressive screen and lack of a decent aerial count against the Cowon iAudio D2 DMB.

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 a touch screen.

So the Cowon D2 manages to address a niche for the ultra portable PMP, we are just not yet convinced that there is a real market for a small PMP, even with a big battery.

Cowon's player performs well but you're paying a bit extra for a rather ineffective touch-screen display. Regardless, the range of features here makes it a pretty versatile offering.

The Cowon D2 neither inspires enthusiasm nor rage—it's a simple player for videos, music, and photos. The included FM tuner and voice recorder are two things it has that iPods don't, but the interface design flaws will test most users' patience. If you're

If you can live with the fiddly interface, and don't mind having to convert your videos, the D2 is a very capable, and highly portable, box of tricks - and significantly cheaper than an iPod touch.
