Q5 Reviews (includes Pics)

[addz]

Yep Cowon released a lovely review of the Q5 (from pmpinside), unfortunally its in Korean, i would do the whole google translation but the text is printed in images so its a no go.

Any translators out there??

Looking at the images, it is only slightly bigger then the A2, its the screen which beefs up the Q5.

+ new Q5 fw is out: http://board.cowon.com/zeroboard/zbo...=C&category=37 not that any of us need it, but it looks like is supports a number of connections with listed cameras.

+ for more user images keep checking: http://board.cowon.com/zeroboard/zbo...0&bmenu=iAUDIO and look for "Cowon Q5" more and more users are starting to post their images.

Thanks dude!

one question though- Does the wired remote and case come with it? I saw the image but that was separate from the box.

[omjeremy]

Hrmmm... I don't think the case and remote come with it. Underneath the image of the case it says "Zenus OEM" That is disappointing.

Anyway, look at the size comparison! It's virtually the same as the A2.

ya i somehow think the case, remote etc are seperate accessories. Its werid though because many other images i have seen include the case, maybe they brought it seperatly?? maybe cowon korea offered it in a package with the Q5?.

Nuts. Cowon should go back to their A2 package. It came with everything. Well except the remote . That case does remind me of the A2's case though.

Makes me want it even more.

Wow thats surprising the a2s size is comparable, geez the q5 make the a2 look like a relic now.

Looks like a pretty comprehensive review

:O Deep down I knew this was possible, but I had not thought about it. This is so cool.

Hehe, I translated it with google webpage translator, and none of it makes sense. Can someone please tell us what "bedspread" refers to? It's popped up in nearly every Korean Cowon page? Obviously that's not the right translation, so what is it?

could this record to tv???? Look at the review page and go to Record and setting and i believe there is a recording to tv!!!! Look at the 4th picture! Please tell me this is it!!!

Record to TV? How could you record to TV?

Are you referring to DMB?

@patx919 the model shown is a Korean model that has Tv incorporated (DMB)
thus unless your Korean (buying and using there) its nothing to get exited about, as this feature wont be in the Us/eur model

As far as i'm concerned "the recording from TV" feature is an outdated feature. Nobody needs it anymore as bittorrent has taken over. You can download any tv show and download it on to your Cowon. Archos is incorporating this bittorrent in it's 5th generation players.
Besides, who still watches tv???? NOTHING IS ON anymore. It's all garbage...not worth wasting your Cowon memory for!

ok, so a little off the main topic, gotta address this; i have a lot o friends who dont watch tv cause they do other stuff, which is completely fine with me, but when people say theres nothing on tv, its just expressing ignorance; tv has made incredible strides in the past few years, and shows like heroes, rome, dexter, lost(perhaps not the most recent season), alias, and 24 often outshine movies; with brilliant writers and often incredible special effects, a decent television set will give you more for free than most movies you would pay $7 to see in a theater

you cant really beat the screen size of a resonable tv compared to a laptop or pmp device as such. having tv out doesent bother me. i already have a media hard drive which plays everything to my fancy.

Is it me or an i just dreaming about a Docking station for this. Placing it flat on a surface while working or holding it while watching it movie just doesent fit right with me most of the time. I would love to have it at a postitioned angle something like the archos dock, not no stinking back rest on a leather case (if it even has one which i doubt.)
