Cowon iAudio6 - Not Worth its Price?


The Cowon iAudio 6 can play and record a lot of media types but its small screen is discouraging. This mp3 player has a neat style but you have to hold it horizontally to get a good view of the small screen. It can play MP3, WMA, FLAC, WAV and Ogg Vorbis. It comes with a USB cable to synchrnize and transfer files as well as charge the battery when connected to a PC. At $230, almost the same prize as an iPod Nano, I don't think this player is worth it, but may be perfect for those who doesn't mind the small screen.
