Quick review

The good: Customisable, good file format support, Bluetooth, BBC iPlayer compatible
The bad: No Wi-Fi, screen lock is irritatingly slow
Verdict: Plenty of features packed into a solidly constructed body with plenty of format support, the P3 should appeal to many who want a little more from their MP3 player
Key specs: 3.5mm jack, Bluetooth, FM radio, Li-ion battery, MP3 player, Touchscreen, USB

Comments

Also useful to note that the P3 has an LCD screen, which is a bit disappointing given that its main rival - the Cowon S9 - has a much lovelier AMOLED display.

I can't wait to get this! I've read loads of reviews all saying that its one of the few good rivals to the ipod touch (which is WAY too expesive in my opinion), so can't wait to get mine!

A very good touchscreen player. Good quality build, and probably the best one around for it's price. Only problem I dislike is that you can't listen while charging, and there is no mains charger included, only a USB. Also, the headphones are very poor, and broke easily. Posted by Rob., England
