Cowon A2

Now I realize this is Free[bc6a2c4c7f0]ipod[/bc6a2c4c7f0]guide, and the video iPods are awesome. But I am looking for something more, a pvp with lots of features. Any suggestions? What do you think of this one?

COWON A2 yea that thing is sexy but i still freakin hate the stupid joystick thingi....>.<

Yeah the design looks really nice.

Might want to edit your link so it works when you click it.

id rather view movies with my PSP

yea but can your psp record from tv?

Sorry, my internet went out just as I posted the topic, just got it back. Everyone says "I'd rather watch it on my psp" But that costs either $20 a movie, or about $80 for 1 gigabyte of space. I would say that pretty much sucks.

I have 2 1gb sticks which i got for free back when the sticks were valued at $150 a piece D the psp screen is a whole inch bigger and it supports 169 ratio (which im not a big fan of but its trendy i guess) Btw, does that PVP have any games? )

$80? what cost $80? u talking about like a 1gb sd card? i thought the psp had some type of built in memory, so can't u just use that to store movies on? i might be mistaken, i dunno. is that the only way to watch movies? let me know.

whoa where have YOU been? The psp requires a Sony memory Stick Duo
(no other type of flash memory will work) In order to store movies/music/gamesaves they used to be hella expensive but the price has become very resonable in recent months..

PSP would pwn that video player. PSP = multimedia station

PSP = Boring IMO.

A2 Supports 169 as well. And of course you can play games! It [i0fc45e7d30]is[/i0fc45e7d30] a gaming system you know.

This A2 looks pretty good. I saw the Zen Vision at a convention and was really impressed by it but it can't record video like this can. However, the zen vision screen is amazing (640 x 480 on 3.7" is really crisp) and since I could do without the PVR features (I am used to downloading TV shows, not capping them) so I would lean that way. The PSP has an awesome screen but its battery won't last as long as these players and memory sticks are expensive. Archos also has some nice PVR PVPs like the AV500 (pretty similar to this A2) and the AV700 (huge 7" screen) so check those out too.

As for me, I prefer using a 7" portable dvd player on planes and I haven't wanted to watch video on the subway or anything. Was tempted to get the zen vision though.

The iRiver U10 looks tight but only 1GB (

Im gonna buy the A2, But that iRiver is sleek. I need more than a tiny gig though.

archos makes a good pvp player. i was supposed to get one from prizecube than they shut down after i was verified for like 3 months.

Are you sure? In your link at the top of the page there's nothing mentioned about gaming in the description.

He's talking about the PSP.

I was being sarcastic. Lol, sorry.

Ah, my fault. roll

I think if you are wanting a digital video player you should wait another couple generations. None are svelt enough for my tastes or anywhere near as easy to use an audio player (and they should be).

A portable dvd player is the best system for now.

I agree. They are right on the brink of getting really cool.

Look at the a2, looks good for audio to me.
