Cowon Q5 Media Player
![]()
Since there seems to be a lot of interesting gadgets in Japan and fewer in Europe, we now turn our heads to Korea, to Cowon to be more precise. They just unveiled the Q5 Wi-Fi media player. This interesting device comes with a 5 inch touch-sensitive display, hard disk capabilities of up to 500 GB and of course Wi-Fi connectivity and Bluetooth support via USB. When it comes to supported formats there is a lot to go around with MP3, OGG, WMA, WAV, FLAC, ASF, WMV, MPEG 4, DivX, AVi, PNG, JPEG, BMP, PNG and Raw photo display all on the list. You can view it all on the small screen mentioned above or via TV-out (an option that is probably going to be more popular).
Cowon announced that the Q5 Media Player will arrive in Europe late September and will have a price of around 439 pounds for the 40 GB version and 473 pounds for the 60 GB model. You have to wonder how much a model of 500 GB would cost if it came under a “standard” selling package.
