  Cowon D2
  By Tim Gideon
  
  Review summary: The tiny D2 is nothing to write home about, but it does have a few things the iPod nano doesn't--like a 2.5-inch screen and an SD card slot.
  
  Pros: Easy to load with music, songs, and video. Lightweight and small. Sharp LCD. Touch screen. Expandable up to 12GB with SD card. TV-out for video playback.
  
  Cons: Interface can be annoying. Scroll-bar awkwardly placed. Images take too long to load and render.
  
  Verdict: The tiny D2 is nothing to write home about, but it does have a few things the iPod nano doesn'tlike a 2.5-inch screen and an SD card slot.

  Cowon D2
  By Eric Butterfield
  
  Review summary: Cowon's touch-screen-based player works well for audio on the go, but we wouldn't want to watch video on it for more than a few minutes.
  
  Verdict: In this way, Cowon's device fails to live up to the "portable multimedia player" label engraved on its case. The D2 is an expensive flash audio player that flirts with multimedia, but ultimately will appeal only to people enchanted by the novelty of ...

  Cowon D2 2GB Portable Multimedia Player
  By Carlos Bergfeld
  
  Review summary: It may be tiny, but Cowon's new D2 clocks a freakishly-high 52 hours of audio playback time (and 10 hours of video). Its gorgeous 2.5-inch LCD isn't just for looks-the D2 sports a slick touch-screen interface for navigating through audio, video, image ...
  
  Pros: Touch screen navigation works great with included triangular stylus. Incredible sound quality with numerous audio enhancement options. Supports MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, WAV and APE formats as well as PlaysForSure content. MTP and MSC storage modes. ...
  
  Cons: No video for Mac users ; all video must be converted with included PC-only software. Pricey for just 2GB of built-in memory

  Cowon iAudio D2 (4GB)
  By Jasmine France
  
  Review summary: Cowon's iAudio D2 may not be top of the sales charts but its sleek body, abundance of features and multitude of sound-adjustment options ensure it's a quality compact MP3 player
  
  Pros: Sleek and compact design ; lovely, touch-sensitive screen ; plenty of features, including video playback, voice recording and FM tuner ; handy stylus/kickstand ; sound quality is great
  
  Cons: Pricier than similarly featured MP3 players ; slightly heavy ; touchscreen interface won't appeal to all users, specifically active ones
  
  Verdict: If you can get on board with the Cowon D2's PDA-like touchscreen interface, the reward is great-sounding audio, a smorgasbord of features and a fantastic battery life
