If you are planning to invest your hard earned money on a portable player that is rich in features, superb in performance and a real heavy duty pocket entertainer, you need to have a look on this one. IntroductionCowon are a respected brand. D2 and i...
There's no doubting that Cowon's Q5W is a powerhouse of a PMP. But does it make the case for its size and weight successfully? I'm afraid to say it doesn't. For while it may have an impressive array of connections, a fantastic screen and awesome sound qua...
Broad feature set, Excellent audio and video quality
Sluggish response, Heavy and chunky, Poorly designed interface
The bottom line is that the Cowon Q5W is more expensive and more complicated than it ought to be. Hardware-wise, its big and heavy, and the touchscreen really requires the stylus to be effective. Software-wise, this thing is kind of a nightmare, but w...

The Cowon Q5W aims to do everything a gadget-aholic may want in a portable video player. Unfortunately, its confusing dual interface and high price hold it back from greatness.

Abstract: Our first impression of the Cowon Q5W is the large 5-inch touch screen that dominates the facade of the device, making it at once clean and minimalistic. The unsightly buttons and ports are all concealed along the outer frame of this portable media ...
