Cowon Q5W Review
January 29, 2008 | by Ian Bell
While the Cowon Q5W appears to have enough firepower to control a nuclear launch, its Frankenstein construction hurts it where it counts - in music and audio playback. Check out our in-depth review.
Snip:
"Jamming a Web browser, Bluetooth, a text editor, and a zillion other features into a PMP is a solid idea, but the interface must be done right. Unfortunately for the Cowon Q5W, running a dated-looking minimally functional version of Windows doesn't cut it. The 5-inch touchscreen looks great, and the audio is excellent and offers flexible options, but the design (inside and out) is decidedly technophilic. With a few firmware updates, this could be a decent travel companion for the tech-savvy, but it's too big and heavy to be carried with you everywhere, and the touchscreen interface doesn't compete with offerings from the likes of Apple and Samsung."
