After adding gapless support for ogg and lossless files, COWON has improved the S9 by adding gapless for MP3 files. Last month it was firmware 2.31b, now it’s 2.31 beta 2. There are also various improvements on some video codecs and some bug fixes.
The COWON S9 was the best PMP last year. It appears that while the S9 gets better, the competition have been failing to come out with a real competitor.

Your picture has the S9’s lower edge details wrong.
Left is a cover over the propietary USB port. Center is the headphone jack.
The top edge, from left to right is:
Vol-/vol+ Play/Pause <>
For competition, there’s a Zune HD, Creative Zii, and a Samsung M1 on the horizon.
All look to have 3.3″ OLED screens and WiFi. Time will tell.
