The Cowon Q5

About a month ago, Ras bought a portable media player (PMP) – the Cowon Q5. It’s a 60 GB touchscreen media player that can stream local TV shows (and record them while watching), holds music, videos, photos, has a dictionary and encyclopedia, is a navigation system, and runs Windows CE. Check out a video of it HERE. More about SPECS here. Engadget has a blurb about it HERE.

  • 5-inch wide-screen, 16-million-color TFT LCD with ultra-fine 800×480 (WVGA) resolution and touch-sensitive interface;

  • HSDPA modem, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for wireless networking;

  • Windows CE Internet Explorer browser;

  • FM radio and recorder, voice recorder, built-in stereo speakers, and TV-out supporting component and composite connectors;

  • DVR functionality with video (MP4) recording from TV, VCR or camcorder;

  • GPS navigation;

  • up to13 hours of audio or 7 hours of video playback; and

  • 40GB or 60GB hard disk.

The navigation system has been such a lifesaver when driving in Korea. The instructions and voices from the system are in Korean, but Ras hasn’t had too much of a problem. Since having it, we’ve gone to the the public swimming pool in Yeoido, the Flickr Launch in Gangnam, Ocean World, Anmyeon-do, Jenay’s apartment in Suwon, and Greg’s apartment in Mok-dong. I can’t wait to explore more of Korea with it – I love road trips!
