Cowon D2

Memory / Conclusion

The player comes in two options, 2GB and 4GB. SAD!! It’s like an iPod Nano, only with a bigger and better screen. Even the Zen comes with 30 GB in-built memory. If you compare the two, buying a memory card to extend the memory on the D2 will bring the cost close enough to the Zen’s.

This alone makes the D2 look like a bad buy. True? Not really. While, the Zen is HD based, the D2’ storage is flash-memory based. (It’s skip free and more durable). Which means, unlike the Zen, you can take the D2 out with you for a jog. Although, it would have been a lot better if the D2 had the drag-and-drop option for videos.

The player still has a much faster UI, and do keep in mind the touch-screen factor. (I like the way the menus pop up and the fraction of a second it takes to load a video or a song).

Personally, I prefer the Vision M. But I don’t go for a run. And I still think, at Rs. 12,500, it’s a nice buy.
