Cowon D3 Plenue Android PMP review (video)
Posted in: Android, PMP, review, Today's Chili, video
One thing’s for sure: Cowon’s D3 Plenue is vastly different (and superior) to the firm’s AMOLED-equipped S9 from 2008, and it’s also catering to a vastly different sect of consumers compared to its ultra-capacious X7. This beaut is one of the few pocketable Android-based PMPs available today, offering up a gorgeous 3.7-inch AMOLED capacitive touchpanel (800 x 480), dedicated media controls along the edges, Android 2.1, WiFi, 1080p video output, a built-in microphone and a battery good for up to 21 hours of use. As with every other Cowon player, this one also supports every file format ever conceived, including FLAC, APE and OGG — three that the audiophiles in attendance will definitely recognize. The real question here is simple: does having Android on a non-connected (cellular, anyway) device really do you much good, and moreover, is it really worth the $357.99 asking price? We’ll discuss these points and more in our full review just after the break. Join us, won’t you?
