 A good PMP/portable laptop January 4, 2009

Read this and all reviews about the Q5W its the best guide on how to work your PMP. The instructions that come with it are extreamly basic and from what I have seen not much help on their websight about problem shooting.
I gave Cowon a 5 but I would say 4.5. Its a good mechine with so far endless possibilities but, it can and prob. will be better in the future
I am a student, a photographer(amiture)loves to listen to music, and likes to explore the full range of any devise.
The Q5W is great because it acts like a PMP and a laptop.(IT is a PMP) I can hook up a keyboard, mouse and another USB devise with out any slowing of function.I have only tried 3 usb devises at a time thus far.
I got this trying to evade from buying a laptop because everyone has one! I am a guy and its not cool to have the same toys as the whole world! This works like a laptop but isnt a laptop! You can type docc. in a txt and other formats. It has WIN SE which is a very basic windows. NOT VISTA! You can also use a regular mouse (wireless or wired) with a keyboard and other usb devises. You will have to buy a devise that extends the port to multi USB ports. Cant think of the name.
WiFI-the WIFI isnt very strong you have to be very close to the wireless modem to pick up any thing but when you do it is fast and works well. Its just like picking up wifi on your laptop.
Music-Its the best hands down even with a cheep head set. You will hear things in your music you never herd becfore with extreamly high clairity!
Picts.-Well with 16 million colors it should look awesome!
Viewing txt or other docc you just need to know what types its compatible with. Ie WinCE can support mulit types of texts but the OFFICE on the Cowon manin page will only support TXT. format from what I have seen thus far.
Movies- have not played with that yet.
I got into some problems when I first got the firmware upgrade. Make shure you download the upgrade on your PC. first, then unzip the file(you can download or buy the program to unzip the compressed firmware foler), follow the instructions provided on the cowonglobal internet page. I messed this up and it nearly cost me the whole unit!
You do need to play around with it, know what you have and have a basic understaiding of what a computer is and you will do fine.
This is only my experrience in the Q5w I have had it for about 3 days and love it!!
Its a good player that like the other reviews say needs a better OS for windows. Though not bad. When that is upgraded this will by far blow away anyghing I have seen, played with or eaven considered. It already does buy why be happy with a car when a little up grade gives you a jet! Go for the 80GB if it fits your budget. Its small portable and great to take on the go. Would buy another. will give more info in the future if needed
Bought my second media player first November 23, 2008

After being in the TV business over 25 years-I've seen it all. The COWON Q5 is the media player of fantasy. It simply is the best rig all-around. High screen resolution, superb audio quality and features yet undiscovered that will never let you get bored with it. This rig is a 3x5" screen personal media player on steriods! One of the many features that caught my eye was its ability to interact with several video formats. See complete details on the product description. Note: The first rig shipped to me came DOA. The charging system was corrupted in the COWON itself. Amazon came through quickly with a lightning fast replacement. I am always-ALWAYS-confident in Amazons superior customer service. So this return issue was fast and easy.
There always will be features you'd like on any piece of electronics. It would have been awesome to plug in my ATT wireless internet module into the USB and get it to work. The COWON is also built tough-but still would use caution in any high shock environments. After all this is a hard drive unit and can get placed into a lock-up (reset required) event with a variety of minor and/or major consequences. You will not be dissappointed with the COWON Q5.[...]
 Don't by Cowon products... September 6, 2008

I have been thoroughly disappointed with their products and lack of customer service. They average about 2-3 weeks to return an email for customer service issues. I finally got through to a representative and was advised to send the product back to them, at my own expense and they emailed back about 1 month later stating that there is no problem with the item. When I emailed back with a detailed description of the specific situation I encountered (item stopped powering on or charging through the USB port) they ceased communication. I still haven't heard back from them, but will never buy their products ever again. They are terrible both at manufacturing and caring for their customers.
Cowon Q5W almost hits mark May 15, 2008

I've had the q5w 60gb model for about 2 months and overall I am very pleased with it's performance. The only drawback was the fact that it does not play AAC music files, but adding Coreplayer took care of that. Wifi works well, I can go approximately 90 feet from my linksys 54gs router without any slow web pages or disconnect issues. Audio is awesome, even using Coreplayer instead of the built in one. Video looks fantastic on the 5" screen. Battery life could be better, but I get 7 hours on audio and 5 on video. A bigger hard drive would also be a plus, but that can be solved by adding a bigger one. This is my first Cowon product and I would buy from them again.
Great player with some small flaws April 21, 2008

I bought this player too, overall it plays the Video & audio in high quality.What is a bit disappointing is that you can't charge the unit via USB but perhaps that will be possible some day by software modify.The wifi area is to small, when I get only a 50% signal from my router I can,t connect to the wlan/internet.What I like too about the player is the Windows CE 5 ( ok Win CE6 would've beenbetter)I found already a lot of applications for the Cowon Q5W.
