Employing the Android OS will do the trick for Cowon. There is nothing really that pose a problem but changing the OS with more polished interface will surely enhance the overall experience and device functionality. Overall, the experience is not great but acceptable. The touchscreen is responsive and there were only a few instances when touch was not registered. Scrolling through the list of songs was a bit sluggish and hampered our experience. Folder play support is one nice option and it lets us load all the songs in the playlist including the subfolder contents. However, browsing through the list of folders is a bit tedious and this also depends a lot on how you load the songs on the device. Media playback controls are well laid out, and adding tracks to your favourite list and scrolling through playlist is done easily. Once again, the interface design is not the sleekest but will get the job done. Tapping these active icons gives a pop-up window with further options.

Of the 27 icons filling up the interface, only five are active – Media, Utility, Office, Game and Settings.

A proprietary port instead of standard port like micro/miniUSB is a bit of disappointment as there would be no way to connect the device if you misplace the cable. The left side is the most crowded – it has 3.5mm headphones jack, a flap cover that has a memory card slot, a proprietary port for a data cable, a TV-out hidden underneath, and a DC Adaptor-In for charging. The player has just a few buttons on the side – a power/hold switch, a mic jack and blinking LED are on the top, while volume rocker is on the side.
