Good sound, High-quality video recording, Line-in recording can be done in FLAC
Joystick use can be a hit-or-miss affair, FAT32 doesnt allow transfer of 4GB+ HD movies, Reflective screen
Cowon has always been a personal favorite, and not without ample reason. To begin with, I don’t see Cowon cowing down to the competition by subscribing to the whole "use only proprietary software" crap! If there’s any product ou...
Great Screen, Complete Bundle, Good Recording Capability, Supports lots of formats (Video, Audio, Image, Documents), FM Tuner.
Price.
The iAudio COWON A3 we received was of 30GB capacity. Its available for Rs.25,000 with a 1-year warranty. Indeed, its overpriced! Funnily, its higher capacity variant, the 60GB A3, is available for just 2K more, which makes for a very good deal. As...

Abstract: After spending the last 24 hours abusing Cowons latest A3 portable video player, I have to say Im pretty impressed...mostly. As a high-capacity portable video player, the A3 offers spectacular video resolution (800 x 480) and supports just about ever...

Abstract: Round-up Yes, the news is dominated by this week's revamped iPods, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of other good media players out there. Put off the colourful Nano, or the shiny Touch? Then here are ten of the best alternatives. Counting dow...
Price; image quality; sound quality; amazing video and audio codec support; support for DVD VOB files; direct video and audio hard disk recording and encoding
Mini joystick is unbearable; HD video is nowhere near as nice to use as Cowon claims; no kickstand
Certainly the most capable handheld video player weve seen to date. With its unrivalled screen and codec support, its direct recording capabilities and its ability to playback DVD video files without transcoding, Cowons A3 is a well-priced behemoth ...
The A3 is a lovely bit of kit offering superb video and audio playback, truly comprehensive file support and a screen so good you will want to marry it and have its children. The only downsides are that to some eyes it looks a little old fashioned and...
