So what is that, a 2-generations-old card that they charged you $600 for?

Actually I got it used, so it cost the same as a PC equivalent card would.

had the iAudio7, which died a sudden, maybe humidity induced death some weeks ago.
This has the best audio quality that I ever came across for a MP3 player, and it plays everything from mp3, wav, ogg to flac. But no mp4 unfortunately.

But the included in-ears are trash, went straight to the bin Wonder why Cowon does that.

I just read some test and they said it doesn't sound as good as an ipod touch... it got the first place in their test however.

PS: This here would probably deliver the best audio quality (it's stupidly limited tho, and costs way too much)...

I had two Creatives, one Phillips and one Sony MP3 discman before, my brother has a big Ipod, and we agree that the old Cowon can produce a better sound than all of them. In fact a guy with a small recording studio recommended the brand to me.

It has an equalizer where you can adjust almost everything and some functions like an Mp3 enhancer like the X-Fi cards have them. Did they test it with the bundled in-ears?

They claimed they tested it with their audio testing equipment and said an ipod touch performed better. They didn't mention anything detailed however (what testing gear, results, etc).

For your listening pleasure, i hope they were wrong, because (IMO) ipods are anything but an example for good sound, no matter what headphones you're using.

EDIT: For a fair test you should turn off all equalization and enhancer stuff going on...

yip. a fair test is when all the players are playing flat.
Sony usually do good mp3 players. after all they invented the personal music player (walkman).

imho they make even better players than ipods... my xperia(sony ericsson isnt exactly sony, but a subsidiary of sony) just sounds more "alive" than my ipod touch. i would assume it comes down to what genres you prefer to listen to.

either way :

I could never get used to a mouse with that many buttons. My current one has two thumb buttons but I only ever use one of them.

i bought this with bf3 in mind actually, but when browsing or i rarely use the buttons too... they only come in handy in games, for example, when i want to throw a grenade or check the scoreboard. my wrist doesnt get tired anymore either as it fits my hand better than my old mouse.

i have no idea what logitech was thinking of when they were composing the profiles in the gaming software... why would i press a button on a mouse to cut highlighted text, id rather use the backspace key.

I know what you mean about games but if I rarely press a button I forget what it does, so all those extra buttons bound to obscure actions would never get used!

Heh, finally went away from good old 4:3 to 16:9. Bought this one for 70 bucks or so.

Ticket for this badboy, cannot wait until saturday!!!

Is this for some kind of collection, or you don't have anything better to do?

it's quite usefull for shaving. Beats all multiblade crap gillette has made over the past decades.

100 blades for about 8 euro's is a nice bonus aswell.

8GB Class 6 MicroSD that is.
