If you can get on board with the Cowon D2's PDA-like touch screen interface, the reward is great-sounding audio, a smorgasbord of features, and a fantastic battery life.
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.
Cowon claims the D2 will play 10 hours of video or 52 hours of music on a single charge. All in all, this is a high-value media player in a very compact shell that stands up well up to the competition.
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
The D2 is a great option; yes, there will be many who think the iPod is better for the same price, but iAudio finds itself among a premium audience because of its quality. This product is no different, better quality audio and video over the iPod is what
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.

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.

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.
A star performer with diva-ish sound quality, marathon battery life and a few added bonuses too. Just be careful not to sully that lovely screen too much with your lard-smeared digits.
Cowon's D2 has the most stylish yet functional user interfaces I've seen on a mobile device and one that makes the most of the gorgeous screen it's display on. The battery life's fantastic, and so is the scope for sound enhancement the D2 includes. The on
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 an all-around solid device. Music sounds great, video looks clean, it plays a variety of formats and does pretty much everything expected of a PMP. It suffers greatly from a poorly-designed interface, but almost makes up for it with an ext

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.
Cowon's D2 flash portable media player has this going for it: It doesn't try to do too much, and what it does, it does pretty well. Folks looking for a simple way to view video files and listen to MP3s on the go will find the small D2 quite capable, if no
