Product Description
The Cowon iAudio A3 - Complete PMP The long-awaited A3 has quite simply the widest range of features available in any Portable Media Player on sale today! It's a welcome return to Hard Drive based players for Cowon whose reputation has been made with a succession of class-leading products like the X5 and A2. While the current D2 continues this legacy some customers require the larger capacities afforded by Hard Drives and that's where the A3 comes in. The A3 uses the new Texas Instruments Da Vinci Chipset giving fantastic responsiveness and speed with the class leading reproduction we expect from Cowon. For detailed product information please click here . Video The A3 is compatible with the widest range of file formats in any player. It's 800X480 4 inch pixel screen offers pin-sharp images and crisp motion for video. It's also capable of 7 hours of video playback - remarkable for a screen this size let alone one of this quality. The A3 is available in 30 60GB & 80GB formats - giving you ample space for movies (up to 100 full-length movies can be stored on the 60GB on average) You can also display still images in a variety of formats (JPG GIF PNG TIF BMP) up to 15 Mega Pixel original size. Audio This is Cowon's traditional strength and they have not let us down with the A3. As an all-in-one media player you simply won't find another product with the quality and versatility of this one. It'll play MPEG1 Layer 1/2/3 WMA FLAC OGG Vorbis FLAC APPLE Lossless AAC/AAC+ AC3 True Audio Monkey s Audio MusePack WavPack G.726 & PCM straight out of the box! All of that is worthless if it sounds poor but don't worry about that! With a powerful 32mW per channel output and probably the best sound quality available on a portable player available today it's going to impress! We've not even mentioned the FM Radio yet! Built into the player it's a top feature and the audio quality and reception is superb. You can also recor

5 out of 5 stars Excellent PMP   September 9, 2008
Mr. Ozan Cakir (uk)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought the Cowon A3 a few days ago and I can safely say it does everything it says on the box.

Pros.
Plays everything - I tried several Divx Movies, some downloaded TV shows, a few MPEGS, a VOB file from a DVD and it played them flawlessly.
Easy to USE - Easy to use Menu system
Plenty of space - I bought the 80GB version
Beautiful screen - Sharp clear screen and picture. Movies really good, even when you watch a bad quality one it looks good on the A3
Multiple charge options - You can charge by mains or via USB (note: USB charge takes longer but very useful)

Cons.
Joystick not great - You use a navigation stick for most things and it feels a little fragile, would have been a nice touch if they had touch screen.
Usual PMP speakers - Speakers aren't great but no better or worse then other Portable Media Players on the market.

Conclusion.
The Cons are unimportant as you can't play games so joystick shouldn't be over used or pressed too hard and speakers are like other PMP's, use headphones or buy external speakers. Apart from that it does everything and much more.

Going to purchase DVB adaptor and try some digital TV and report back, also I will test the battery to see if it does last the 7 hours it is meant to.

My advice, if you love movies on the go, this is a really good buy.
