![]() At 5.04- x 3.23- x 0.62-inches around, it's certainly not a bulky device, and the 6.95 ounces are light enough to carry around in a front pocket and forget it was ever there. Cowon is a master of design, and in our estimation, doesn't get nearly the credit it deserves here in the States. Similar to the S9 and A3 units that we've reviewed in the past, the V5 is simply stunning from every angle - and it ships in some pretty swank packaging to boot. There's no WiFi or 3G here, so the only browser you'll find is a file browser. Previously referred to as the V5 HD, the newly christened V5 is a handheld music and video player with the ability to also show photo slideshows, play Solitaire and Freecell, sift through documents and even shed its skin and do things that every other Windows CE 6.0-based handheld can do. ![]() We were fortunate enough to get our hands on one of the first units to ship to America, so hop on past the break for our two pennies. Boasting a 4.8-inch resistive touchscreen (800 x 480 resolution), a Windows CE 6.0 underlying OS, HDMI / USB sockets (via adapters from a proprietary socket), a voice recorder, integrated speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack, 8/16/32GB of internal storage, an SDHC expansion slot, a battery good for 45 hours of music playback (or 10 hours with video) and a format support list that would drive you batty to read, there's a lot (lot!) to love about this thing on paper. ![]() Cowon's V5 has been out and about in South Korea for just over two months now, but thankfully for the Yanks who are downright flustered with the existing PMP options here in the States, the company has decided to bring this beaut stateside. ![]()
