The Cowon A2: Media Machine From The Future
Added 2019-01-13 23:31:55 +0000 UTCA look at one of my favorite gadgets of the past 20 years - the Cowon A2 multimedia recorder/player. I have used this tiny workhorse for so many projects over the years, and I really wish that products were this well designed and ergonomic today. Enjoy!

2019-01-14 22:39:40 +0000 UTCI would agree that the ergonomics of electronic devices have take a downhill slide of over the last few years. Same is true of computer software, for example programs that have no visible menu but require you to click some unidenitifiable blip or squiggle instead. Just seems to be change for the sake of change, and no ther reason. If it works.. leave it alone!
2019-01-14 19:38:00 +0000 UTCI love and miss electronics like this: physical buttons, lots of useful and novel features. Now everything is an App, but touch UIs are frustrating for many reasons. I carried a SanDisk MP3 player until the battery died, even after I got my first smartphone.
2019-01-14 17:18:05 +0000 UTCIt seems rather like the younger, more capable brothers of my River P7 multimedia player. I got it so I could watch videos on long flights.

2019-01-14 16:15:41 +0000 UTCI think I prefer that better than the ipods/ipod touch back then. Does it have a wifi on it?

2019-01-14 06:02:18 +0000 UTCI miss pushity and clickity buttons, too.
2019-01-14 03:00:31 +0000 UTCDetangle and plug in a set of earbuds and try the radio. Some devices like this use the headphone common as an antenna. Also, you can get replacement batteries. I don't have the URL handy, but let me know and I'll look it up for you. Cheers Fran!!
