Broad feature set, Excellent audio and video quality
Sluggish response, Heavy and chunky, Poorly designed interface
The bottom line is that the Cowon Q5W is more expensive and more complicated than it ought to be. Hardware-wise, its big and heavy, and the touchscreen really requires the stylus to be effective. Software-wise, this thing is kind of a nightmare, but w...
Awesome screen clarity, Has Wi-Fi, Supports Bluetooth, Good set of earphones
Battery life sucks, Windows OS keeps hanging, Touchscreen keypad acts up
The latest launch by Cowon, a south-Korean electronics manufacturer of MP3 players and large screen PMPs, is something I’m personally very kicked about. Honestly, we don’t get to see most of what’s launched abroad, and although thi...
The Cowon Q5W works well enough for listening to music and watching video, but youll need patience and some technical savvy to achieve more complex tasks, such as loading content over a secure wireless network. While the player has much potential, it...
Large, beautiful display, Built-in stereo Bluetooth, Compatibility with a wide array of audio/video formats, Rich sound
Sluggish performance, Hit-or-miss touchscreen controls, Earbuds required for FM radio, Switching between interfaces when tweaking system, Low storage capacity
Whether the $549 Cowon Q5W is worth your money depends on what you’re looking to get out of it. As a media player, it’s top-notch, but the scant 40GB hard drive may be a turn-off considering that Archos sells the 80GB 605 Wi-Fi for $249. The M...

The Cowon Q5W portable video player boasts robust video features, high-quality audio playback, and includes a Wi-Fi-enabled Internet browser, Bluetooth audio streaming, component and composite video output, MSN Messenger, and built-in speakers.
The Cowon Q5W is heavy, expensive, awkward to navigate, difficult to configure for wireless Internet, and the optional GPS cradle costs as much as a standalone GPS device.
The Cowon Q5W aims to do everything a gadget-aholic may want in a portable video player. Unfortunately, its confusing dual interface and high price hold it back from greatness.

Abstract: Digitales Taschenmesser trifft es wohl am ehesten: Der Cowon Q5W ist der Beweis des technisch Machbaren und hat mit herkömmlichen MP3- und Video-Playern nicht mehr viel am Hut. Beweise: AMD-Prozessor, Windows CE, WLAN, Bluetooth, ein Display mit einer...

Abstract: The Cowon Q5W was first spotted at CES 2007 and it knocked the socks off those who saw its specs. Its supposed to be a PVP (portable video player), but with specs like Windows CE 5.0, a 800 x 480 display, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, this one feels more like ...
