Zephyron 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 thats why i got a cowon a2, u saw for yourself what a gorgeous thing screen it has, and an excellent battery life as well Ah, but the A2 isn't merely a music player. Its built for portable video, different story altogether bro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iynaix 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) true, but i thought why settle for less? 262000 color doesnt cut it (*cough* video ipod, *cough* 65000 colors, *cough* 2h video battery life *cough*) Edited August 4, 2006 by iynaix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zephyron 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) Exactly. The Video on the iPod 5G was probably just put in to complement the colour screen... but at 16 bits colour, its bleh with a horrid battery life on Video mode (Good example on LCD battery drainage when HDD continuously runs and memory is being continuously read from, its the same as reading a lossless file like FLAC, but the screen doesn't help). I'd rather them put a BnW screen on the damn thing and give it no video, but hey, the common crowd don't do research before getting any kinda players that have the "cool" stuff anyway (Hey Zeph, what's that small iPod you're wearing round the nec... *punch*) so... there we have it, what could've been a good player loaded with a crapload of pointless gimmicks.

iynaix 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 I wholeheartedly agree with you zeph. Most people buy the ipod video for the video functionality (or of course just to look cool) without realising that very ironically, the ipod video barely plays video. You shd have seen the faces of so many video ipod owners when they saw my a2, they were like all ready to sell their video ipods -_____________-" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zephyron 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 Hopefully they'll release the UMS firmware soon. The iRiver T series from what I know comes in 2 forms, the disgusting MTP versions for the western market and the UMS versions for the Asian market. Hmmm, I wonder why.
