The S9

Wow, it's been a long time since i've update. The new job's been keeping me real busy what with night conference calls and never ending emails streaming from the BlackBerry. The days and nights just morph into one continuous flow of activity that is only temporarily halted when the weekends come ( Read more... )

Looks super cool! And you can get it in Singapore? Never seen/noticed it in shops here.

Yea, apparently there's only one authorised distributor for Cowon (Korean brand)

Sim Lim seems to house the bulk of those retailers. I got mine from World Audio Centre. Initially approached the ground level shops but this surly Chinese national woman and bunch of cronies behind who just stared at me the whole time put me off and i went to WAC. The uncle who served me was polite and helpful so i gave him my business :)

how much did u get your cowon 9 for? what's the storage like?
i was looking at samsung y3. it's very nice and sleek too. but i feel the price for an 8gb is alittle steep.

it's 16GB for $420, cheaper than iPod Touch, but of course minus the Wifi / App stores etc. But i have my BlackBerry for that so not a big miss for me.

i was considering the Samsung P3 (or was that P2?) but the max capacity was only 8GB - way too small.

i based my research off here, just FYI

thanks! now i'm considering archos 5G. although i like the look of ur cowon 9. but comparing pricing and functionality, seems like archos has more. how's ur cowon so far? :)

heard good things about archos too.
not too bad. of course apple is still king of user interface but i'm more of a functionality over UI person so im liking the fact i can drop my avi format downloads into the player :D

IT fair is going on, maybe u can go check out some good deals? eheh
