Cowon V5: To Buy, or not to buy?

<< < (2/19) > >>

nstgc:
I myself am looking at getting an S9. I've heard great things about their audio plays and GUI. I'm not sure about the video units though.

killazys:
I would get the s9, but there's no native compatiblity for .mkv files, and converting is a terrible hassle. Oh, and space issues.

The prices for the V5 are slowly going down... but slow, as in $3 different from yesterday.

How about an Archos 5? The only thing with this is you have to buy support for different file formats or extra features...

fohfoh:
I've heard some good reviews on the archos 5, but I've never played with one myself. Though generally I hear that it needs a little more tweaking than most other pmp.

You can remux videos into mp4 containers can't you?
