WHich one is useful for a PMP??

1) Having wifi etc on a device that you can't use, UI that you barely use for 2mins/hr
2) dump everything into the device without having fear that it can play or not, loads and loads of options for video/audio playback.

haha. I show cowon's feature that are really useful for a PMP and you say that you have home LCD.

And when I ask why exactly you need wifi on a mp3 player in a country where you hardly find wifi hotspots, you say you need a convergence device.

Don't you think that you are trying to support ipod touch without having any idea what you are talking about???

Read my post said carefully
my point who need to watch dvd movies on portable player when we compare its size?
touch provides good video options which are sufficient

coming back to your question which is better player i think it all needs on what you need.i already told you why i prefer touch.

who told you we cannot use wi-fi on ipod touch?

coming back to topic
seems like today Apple India have revised price of new ipods

You really dont have answer to cowon's capability. Do you?

well, a dvd quality movie means lot more audio and video quality. You will know the difference when you really see it on A3.

Think about it this way, you buy a dvd or borrow a dvd of an amazing movie and suddenly you have to leave, all you need to do is dump that dvd into the player and play in while you are away instead of converting it for hours.


And what about all those other players that I listed. Are you lost after looking at them?

The point is "There is no need to go after ipods when there are better things available."

of course specs wise cowon are better than ipods on paper

yes dvd movies provide better quality but how much space they occupy?

about the others players yes s9 looks very good and i would it will provide some competition to ipod touch.

ps:i am not blind supportor of apple.also this thread is not a competition so there is no question of win or loose.everybody has different needs.so which is better player depends on your needs.i like ipod touch and i preffer it over A3 or any other cowon

^^ Thank you.

see, first you said cowon is just a brick and now you say that specs wise cowon is better than ipod on paper.


Since you never used cowon A3, accepting cowon as better than ipod on paper is good enough. Thats' good improvement :)

Should be the end of discussion I think.

I totally agree.. its personal.. though am not a fan of apple but have used my friends ipod touch the old one.. and dude i feel that's the eye catching WOW thing.. One thing more as someone told above that for 2 mins you see the display and rest of the time you keep in pocket.. let me know which will be comfortable to keep! LOL :p

And also i think when you walk you keep on pocket and rest of the time on your hand or office table!

dude are you nut?
i said A3 is brick because its 22mm thick and 283gm
yes specs wise it is better than touch.no doubt.but is the specs only important factor?not at all.there are other advantages of touch apart from specs(read my post no 16),but you wont get it (or should i say you wont accept it as you seem like apple hater and you want to justify your A3 purchase so according to you touch is piece of ****)so be happy with your brick

Ahh!! Come on dude!.....:rolleyes:

Everyone has his/her opinion and also full right to express it and this is a PUBLIC FORUM. Don't forget it.

And perhaps I'll agree with desiibond. :) A person who wants to buy an iPod just for the sake of excellent sound quality (thinking that iPod is the best in sound quality), must be made aware of the right choice in terms of sound quality i.e. Cowon. Cowon > iPod.

If someone wants to only buy an iPod Touch, he'll surely buy it and there will be no one stopping him. Perhaps many people in India wouldn't have ever heard the name of Cowon.

And yes, I'm myself getting an iPod Touch in a month just because of Safari and Wi-fi because I require those two features. If sound quality would have been my concern, I would have definitely gone for a Cowon.

First of all, I'm puzzled as to how our nokia-boy krazzy figured the iPod Touch would cost less than 10k. Even in the USA it is more expensive than that! Gee I tell you.

In any case, those are MRPs. So if you bargain you should be able to get it for 13k or even less.

Well $229 does turn out to be around 9k something. Add the taxes and it should be around 10k without exceeding 11k. But here it costs around 3k more (around 14k without the taxes).

^^ At $240, with the current exchange rate of 47, it goes right up to 11,300. Add to that the govt duty imposed in India. So at 13k which is what it should be available at if you bargain, its not earth shattering. Just "below 10k" gets me a little surprised, coming from someone like you.

Well, I don't know whether I'm confused or not....But surely I think I am confused as I'm not able to understand that why has desiibond been termed as an 'Anti-Fanboy' by you just for arguing against the iPod Touch.
