Really awesome screen. The AMOLED screen is something to be seen to be believed. So far I've got several Touch owners to ditch them and go with the s9 just by letting them listen to the amazing sound quality and watch movies on the awesome screen. With firmware 2.41 the s9 just keeps getting better and better.
OLED screen technology really is a beauty. It actually might contributoe to cowons j3 battery rating of 64 hours. Each individual pixel has its own lighting compared to regular screens backlights lighting all of the pixels and trying to block it in order to make black in certain spots. Thats why OLED screens have such great contrast. The blacks are BLACK when compared to the extremely dark grey of regular screens. when OLED screens need black they shut that pixels light off.
@Renholder17: The S9 is so far the best Player I EVER had! I tried Apple, Creative, Samsung, iRiver and Samsung. But Cowon blows everything off, unless you want an iPod to be "in-style". The durability of the Cowon S9 is incredible. I use it for 1 year now. Never had problems so far, so scratches on the display, awesome accu, awesome display (see the video here) and stuff like that...
@Unrated48 It doesnt matter how good the headphones are if the player just sucks in general. iPods sound processor is crap and doesnt support FLAC. So while you listen to your compressed 192 kbps mp3's, I'll be jamming to my flac lossless tracks.
@pyn5002 Cowon is good i admit but i dont think it's better then the ipod touch, but i sure do like both i had a iaudio x5 and i loved that mp3 player i gotta admit that mp3 player alone is alot better then the ipod classic i got now
yeah i had i was once a ipod fan but lost interest fast xD cuz of its lack of support on files and all over stupid restriction! ipods are so damn restricted i dont really understand why people buy them xD beside their clean design :P
lol, i currently have both the s9 and ipod touch, and i carry both around with me. haha. ipod simply cuz it has all these nice games, and the cowon has the almost perfect sound quality and beautiful screen. now... if only samsung and cowon would get together... I like the metal build on the p3 better...
@lapilli We'll see! =) I just ordered the s9... ^^ get it the day after tomorrow...Before that i had a P2...I Loved him...really...I wanted to buy the p3...But in my opinion it REALLY isn't an upgrade! So..I hope i'll love the cowon! for me it was very important that my new player also got bluetooth...Love my Headset... ;)
I-Pod have some things I hate. 1)Download complicated sofware. its complicated to learn how to put in my MP3 Foulders 2) it mixed and kill my foulders by mixing my MP3 files all over the place making all kinds of foulders. 3)date goes one way only in to the player not out into the computer apple things that boot legging. the price is Sky high I seen 400.00 NUTS! its not worth that much good stong amp
Ipod touch/iphone owners get upset when they see that video, The Cowon S9's AMOLED screen beats any devices that use LCD (like Apple). You have to see the Cowon S9 in real life to fully appreciate it though. To the dumb guy who said to up the brightness, you'll find out fast that if both devices brightness was up, the S9 would STILL WIN. Glad I never jumped on the ipod fanwagon, there are superior devices screen and audio wise! If you heard the Cowon S9, ipod fanboys would weep...
That's for making the video. We need more vids showing off the glory of the S9. Now, I just need the 32gb to come out so I enjoy one for myself~!

The S9's AMOLED screen is ridiculous! :thumbsup:

Same, in the end, it was
IPod Touch:
Wifi
Cowon S9
Way better screen (and AMOLED and Gorilla Glass)
way better video playback capacity

S9 looks much more vivid, even on lower quality youtube video.
holy crap that's clear.
over ipod classic is a no brainer (unless u buy song/movie from itunes store)
over ipod touch can be a personal preference
Yeah... Now the new firmware upgrade made G-Sensor more useful like ipod touch... So much games and untilites will come out...
the cowon has flash, which technically means that you can get games for it.
@Unrated48 It doesnt matter how good the headphones are if the player just sucks in general.
iPods sound processor is crap and doesnt support FLAC.

actually i think it might, since it can support flash

you got em, cheers!
lots of flashgames for the S9 are available on anythingbutipod

Cowon S9 has the best SQ out there.

New Psp portable, smaller and more compact.Coming out this fall.
Probably the case.
OWNED!!! :P
does it have internet connection?
U'r right! i love cowon s9. 1 thing i love the ipod is it is FUCKABLE!
God damnit the s9 doesnt have wifi... that would have had me SOLD.
@Unrated48, Too bad you're iPod can't utilize the full potential of your earbuds..
I-Pod have some things I hate.
1)Download complicated sofware. its complicated to learn how to put in my MP3 Foulders
2) it mixed and kill my foulders by mixing my MP3 files all over the place making all kinds of foulders.
3)date goes one way only in to the player not out into the computer apple things that boot legging.
the price is Sky high I seen 400.00 NUTS! its not worth that much
good stong amp
so would you suggest this over the ipod classic?

you mean you couldn't care less? Could implies you have the potential to. Couldn't implies you do not.
they are shutting their mouths because they know how mess up their screen was
I think im gonna get the s9 does it have apps like the ipod
Which generation iPod touch is that, just want to know...
Otherwise results are obvious! OLED is a million times better technology than LCD!
psp, or ds is too big. I'd rather have something more compact, and wifi is a nice feature to have.
There are flash function with perfectly same G-Sensor as touch... Think deeply... U wont have to encord the video files for S9...
It says second generation...
amoled ftw
Funny enough you didn't mention the biggest thing why people hate iPods - its Sound Quality sucks. I have 3, I would know it.
Where are those ipod fanboys ??
@YouNGCAsHbAbY um this video was made 2 years ago. and a two year old cowon would beat any ipod no matter how new in sound quality and battery life
and much longer battery life u kno
I could make a better video in two minutes..cuz this camera is crap...
...but still it shows.
@boozaaa COWON
i don't see a difference at all... *sarcasm*
OMG... this video is useless... How can you compare LCD screen with OLED? Are you silly?
haha, ipod got pwnd
