Prepare for two new COWON players in a few days. The iAudio E2, which is COWON’s answer to the new iPod Shuffle, we already know about while the iAudio 9 will succeed the iAudio 7. These two are music-centric players as all COWON iAudio products have been, not the multimedia convergeance devices we’re used to in recent PMP announcements. Intriguing nevertheless based on the E2 design.

i9 \o/
I’m happy to finally see a replacement for the i7 that I have owned over the last two years, I hope it’s an improvement as I’ve been very happy with mine’s sound quality and for me it’s all about the music rather than a DAP wannabe PMP and provide every bell & whistle know to man. Sure would like to see some pictures and have more information, guess I’ll have to stay tuned as Cowon’s press releases are not that timely
On another note, am I the only one surprised by the name i9, why not something different than the s9? Are the Korean’s not creative when it comes to naming products :roll eyes: Personally I’d like to see the name iT, with the T standing for tunes and meaning that the emphasis is the best music quality, the most codec’s handled, most music related features and a line out jack as well
Regards of my points, this is great news to hear!
