I am about to pull the plug on a Cowon product. But, I would really like some help on users experience on this. My Questions are below. Thanks in Advance.
[LIST]
For sound quality (I would prefer OGG files) , is there any difference between the sound quality of the iAUDIO U3 and the iAUDIO 6 ? They both have 60W total? Corrrect.?
There are some people that swear that a mini-drive is less reliable than a flash drive. What are the advantages/disadvantages of a mini-drive vs Flash ?
Does it appear that the mini-drive in the iAUDIO 6, will at some time be replaceable with a higher capacity drive that Cowon might offer in the future ?
I assume that both have recharable batteries that CANNOT be replaced in the future ?
I am seeing quite a few Flash Players that are offering 4 or more GB of Flash on portable media players. I don't see any offering from Cowon like that.
Which would you get if the pricing of the 2gb iAUDIO U3 and the iAUDIO 6 were going for the same price? I am slightly gun shy about getting a unit with a micro drive. This is due to reliability and sensitivity to movement issues I have heard about, with hard drives. Being that the Microdrive in the iAUDIO 6 is new and unique, I always feel cautious about getting that is "the out for the first time". I usually like to wait for version 2.
I would appreciate any thoughts and opinions.
Thanks,
Jon
