The Pros:MicroSD memory expansion for additional cheap add-on storage. Great battery life - up to 64 hours of audio, 11 hours of video. Cowon is known for their MP3 players, with high audio quality compared to the competition.
The Cons:Prices are hard to swallow - the same as the basic Touch for the 8GB model ($199). Proprietary data transfer cable. Bluetooth audio streaming has terrible quality.
