"These sound horrible, look horrible, are too heavy, have horrible lcd ghosting screens and are way too expensive for how much they are limited by drm/itunes. There are a few features, but wifi is pointless in the age of smartphones and there are too many things this is missing to justify Apple's classically high price tag"

2. commented on Cowon S9 Curve - January 1, 2009 at 9:04 pm

"The Cowon is getting a lot more professional level support in Korea, so just join the iaudiophile forums and anything that comes up will normally be posted eg themes, games etc. And most apps are made by Cowon themselves and released through firmware, and unlike with those orchard players, is FREE. The s9 will also support games from the Spinn, and irivers fans are incredible programmers, so there will most likely be some awesome content for the S9. The only advantages on the touch are wifi and itunes support, and, in the age of smartphones, few people don't already have wifi, and itunes support is arguably a disadvantage as well. Apps are purely up to the user, if you want to spend the twice the money you spent on the player on apps, be my guest, but I'm not stupid. The advantages on the S9 however are practically endless: sound quality, file support, customisabiltiy, video quality, individuality, ui, advanced 360 degrees accelerometer, dmb, dvb (freeview), fm quality, line in recording, picture quality, BBE+, Mach3 Bass etc. scene select, dual core cpu, price, style... i could go on. lol"
