The O2 is the best player we have had...its easy to use and to load with video. Battery life is better than any other portable and for a kid it can change a long journey into something fun. from Amazon.com Although the Archos 5 has a bit more features they charge you for extras like codecs to play certain video types forcing you spend hours converting. That was the main reason I stayed away from it. The O2 pretty much works like a flash drive just drop your videos in it and 99% of the time they'll play on the device. You do get a sync helper and a respectable user interface, but in no way does it compare to the iTunes or the Zune Marketplace. from Amazon.com Well, I rated this O2 5 stars because it is exactly what I wanted and it is fullfilling my needs : - no need to convert movies (very very very usefull !! from Amazon.com I purchased this for my 3 year old daughter to watch her "shows" on a long flight from Florida to Hawaii. With 32GB, it held all her shows and music, plus all of mine. She loved using it so much, the only time I could use it was when she fell asleep! from Amazon.com I use the Cowon O2 as a replacemrnt for a CD changer in our home audio system. I rip CDs in FLAC format and use compression level 4. from Amazon.com Pros: Great screen, Sensitive touch controls, audio quality, tons of file support, SDHC slot, battery life, 10-band EQ, expandable extras Cons: No EQ during video playback, gaps between audio tracks long, no playlist support, interface navigation slow, audio output less than previous Cowon players. When the Cowon O2 was released, I was saving my pennies to pick up perhaps the answer to all my portable needs - a large screen for video viewing, excellent sound quality, and a SDHC slot. from Amazon.com Firmware update did not fix any of this issues either. I traded in my unit and got the A3. A3 bigger unit, smaller screen, but offer so much more than the O2, very appealing, even when just browsing thru media files. Still issues with MKV files, firmware update did help, but still needs improvement. from Amazon.com I've always been a fan of Cowon. I think they typically make great mp3 and video players, and their D2 is my favorite mp3 player of all time. from Amazon.com Like most of the Portable Media Players I get, the Cowon O2, is virtually unknown where I live, but I couldn't be happier with it. The wide variety of media codec support, means I don't have to convert my music and video just to listen to it. from Amazon.com Better stick(!) to the stylus provided. - No ID3 tag based searching for MP3. I would take this for granted in a modern PMP - too bad for O2. I don't use playlists so don't care about the missing capability to handle .m3u etc. from Amazon.com
