Cowon S9 PMP

Impressive for only $300. Here's the details from Amazon:

Product Description
3.3-inch 16:9 Wide AMOLED, 16 million colors, res. 480×272, ultra portable. Play all your digital entertainment: movies, TV shows, photos and music. Touch sensitive interface. Bluetooth, Voice recorder with internal microphone, FM radio and TV-out supporting composite connections. Maximum 11 hours of video playback and maximum 55 hours of audio playback.

The main points to focus on are the new BBE+ sound architecture the amazing AMOLED widescreen display full Bluetooth support and the superb new user interface. As it's the first thing that'll strike you when using the S9 let's take a look at the interface first: Zoom UI: This is a real step forward for Cowon's players which have had a reputation for being slightly complex to use. With this new totally touch screen user interface Cowon have kept the depth of control possible with previous players but made day-to-day operation simplicity itself! Your main functions are represented by a set of simple icons on the main screen and on entering any of these options you're presented with a simple list of track or videos or photos. Text too small? Use the zoom bar and make it bigger. Not sure what a certain video file is? A looping thumbnail shows some footage from it right there on the menu. And again you can zoom in. It doesn't stop there – the S9 features G sensor technology so it knows which way up it's being held. So you can turn it on it's side and scroll through a list of album covers instead of a textual track list. Watching a movie it doesn't matter what way up you hold it the S9 will re-format the file to display the right way up and as big as possible on the 3.3 inch – 480 x 272 pixel AMOLED screen.
