H320 to Q5W
Just replaced my trusty H320 for a Cowon Q5W PMP. Kind of sorry I sold the H320 not because the Cowon is not a good player, it is v.good, it's just they are very different animals. I've only had the Cowon for about 2 weeks but early impressions are v.good. Great audio, fab movie(avi) playback, the 5" screen is just stunning when playing a movie. Then there is the touch screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth for headphones and of course the ability to output to a TV or Hi-Fi. The one downside imo is the way Cowon have implemented the user interface with the Cowon UI sitting atop Windows CE 5 pro. They should really have made Win Ce more transparent only becoming visible when surfing or using the text editor ect. Like the H320 there is a learning curve so it's not for the iplodders. On the UI issues it appears Cowon are fairly good when it comes to supporting their devices with firmware upgrades ect and already there have been 2 fw upgrades released dealing with some small issues so I suspect Cowon will improve the UI in time.
