CNET UK Podcast 109: Windows 7 won't suck. Honest

Crave A much more level-headed Nate talked us through two portable media players, one from Cowon and one from Archos, and told us which one was best out of the box. No, your seeing spheres aren't playing games with you: we have indeed tweaked the name of...

Archos 5 vs Cowon A3: PMP prizefight

Crave Cowon's A3 and the new Archos 5 are quite different devices in terms of overall feature sets, but in our opinion video playback is the key selling point of both. To get support for some of the features Cowon comes with as standard, you need to...

Expert audio quality test: 5th gen iPod vs. iPod classic

Crave Yes, we know that some love to hate iPods, and we know Sony and Cowon players -- particularly our favourite little Cowon D2 -- typically sound better to most ears. The debate has been raging among audiophilles for months now -- which has the better...

Photos: Hands-on with the iRiver P20

Crave That's why we didn't bother writing about iRiver's latest Cowon/Archos-killing PMP -- the P20 -- at CES back in January, because the 'River only had a non-working model on show. But it still looks to be a fair alternative to Cowon's A3 or Q5, or...

Go!View: Sky and Sony in unholy content alliance

Crave It would be hard to deny the PSP has one of the best displays on any portable device -- its only real rivals are some of the Cowon devices and the holy iPhone from the church of St Steve. It seems logical that you'd want to use it to watch video...

Hands-on with the iRiver E100: nano botherer hits UK

Crave The same is true for the E100 -- it lacks the in-your-face quality from Cowon or Apple's iPod classic, but it's above average. Ever since seeing iRiver's new range of MP3 players back at CES in January, we've been itching to get models to take home...

Hands-on with the Cowon A3

Crave If you've been keeping tabs on Crave, you may have noticed we're very fond of Cowon's players and for good reason. It's the Cowon A3 -- the non-identical twin brother born from the same technologically advanced South Korean giga-womb.

Hands-on with the Cowon Q5

Crave But for Crave, it was a time spent not only with family, but also with Cowon's new Q5 PMP. Until then we're confident that unless Web browsing is an absolute must-have, the new Cowon PMP will impress.

Intempo 'Daisy': Wi-Fi Net radio for your pocket

Crave We've seen it in some great portable players, such as Cowon's iAudio D2 DAB. We're living in happy times right now. Happy, because the Internet is no longer restricted to devices with wires. Yes, in 2008 the wireless Web is maturing like the finest...

Photos: Hands-on with the iRiver B20

Crave One of our all-time favourite players, Cowon's iAudio D2, got DAB integrated not too long ago. Now one of our other all-time favourites, the iRiver Clix 2, effectively just got DAB'd and is known as the iRiver B20.
