Its not very portable, but if it has a dock with a line out and can be remote controlled.. it would be perfect for my stereo

Test mule kasrhp? Cowon had the A3 before the O2 and both have the same ARM chip. You would think that moving over to a touch screen and lower resolution would be easy. But noooooooo.

Guys, it doesn’t have a Pentium 3, that would be absurd. Those are just the minimum system requirements.

It looks big, but it’s actually smaller than the Cowon A3 (133.4 x 78.5 x 22). It’s thinner and only slightly taller, and I want one. If it does what it says it does.

WinCE is actually decent. WinMob is the worst OS for a phone period.In any case, I would rather have an Archos 5 IT. Why? Android. And it plays every format as well, H.264 included. A webkit based browser helps as well.How can it have a PIII when it runs WinCE? WinCE runs on ARM stuff, not x86 processors.

Wow this thing is anything but portable! Why is it even on this site? I mean, are you guys going to post every single tablet that comes out from now on? :S

Man, I wish I knew I was a test mule this whole time with the O2. It all makes sense now. The pointless, few firmware updates. The terrible UI, the HD capable, but yet slightly brokenviewing, and nonexistent ouput of HD

i meant “more” but one thing that is bugging me: no wifi…i do own an Archos 5 and browsing with it is quite good. At least better than on somewhat 3″ sreens
