The COWON D2 has had a long outing, but the mother company remains reluctant to let it go gently into that good night. They are refreshing the PMP model with the D2+. It’s the same shape and size and features with a few changes like the new user interface and a longer 52-hour battery life, possibly only for music playback, though hopefully one can get 12 hours of video on this one. The device will continue to offer the same BBE+ audio, which is just topnotch according to many reviewers.

No pricing yet. Note that the COWON D2 has been in the shadow of earlier iPod models ever since it came out and that was when most iPods (Nano included) didn’t have video yet. I wonder what makes COWON think slight changes, including a new color range, to the COWON D2 is enough to be competitive in this market.
