Even before the iPod Nano 4G is officially announced by Apple, COWON would’ve killed it with the newly announced S9 Curve, a deliciously designed PMP in a metal casing. It has a 3.3-inch 480 x 272-pixel AMOLED screen, which is a capacitive touchscreen, and 500 MHz of dual-core processing power. T-DMB, G-Sensor (for gesture control) and dynamic dictionary is among its features. The COWON S9 Curve plays 40 hours of continuous music. Looks pretty expensive too.
COWON has also announced, besides the S9 Curve, two other new products. We’ll write about those later on in the day.
[cowon via cnet] thanks Kevin!

Why did COWON name this S9 Curve when there are an entire dictionary of names. Sounds to me when it looks special it needs a special name.

damn, that looks delicious. But “only” 40 hours battery is a big downgrade from the 52 hours of the D2….

[...] M3 is a PMP/ PND with 3.5-inch screen. Really not as exciting as COWON’s announcement of the S9 Curve but iRiver has the Unit II waiting behind the curtains for officialization so stay tuned. [...]

[...] Côté autonomie, le Curve S9 tient le choc pendant 40 heures une fois sa batterie chargée, et il dispose d’un accéléromètre. On ne connaît encore ni son prix, ni sa date de sortie, ni sa capacité de stockage, mais il est sacrément alléchant. [PMPToday] [...]

[...] Cowon’s stealing a march on the imminent IFA show by teasing with some info on its new S9 PMP ahead of time: and you know, it’s an attractive beastie. The S9 Curve looks to take its name quite literally, having sleek metallic-looking curved edges, and possibly even a curved rear-end if that photo’s anything to go by. Inside the case we know there’s a 3.3-inch AMOLED touchscreen, capable of 16 million colors, a powerful-seeming 500 MHz CPU, T-DMB, Bluetooth connectivity, media player functions and an electronic dictionary app. It’ll also run for 40 hours from just one charge, and has an accelerometer. But there’s no info on price or release dates or its storage capacity, as yet. It just looks fab. [PMPToday] [...]

When does it hit the shelves in the US? I want one! Will be an excellent upgrade from my D2. If it’s not extremely expensive of course…
