My first ever mp3 player was made by Cowon back in 2002. Sadly, the flash got corrupted, and now it crashes during playback.
Cowon actually sells a bunch of different version of the Q5 in Korea, though it seems the main difference is in the apps and add-ons bundled with the thing. There's a "students" version with a Korean-English dictionary, and a "navigation" version with a gps docking station for the car.
The price is a bit steep, imho. We have a similar gadget (7 inch display) pmp/navigator for our car for about 70% of the price of the Q5.
I was tempted to use it on my commute to work, until I realized how much I hate WinCE. So now instead I'm waiting for my N800 to arrive from Europe by mail.
[edit:] Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the Korean version support
DMB
, which is basically free digital TV over the air. The quality is ok, though a little too compressed for my ears and eyes. But it's good for watching live sports while you're at work.
