Cowon D2 review points

• Works with linux - shows up as storage device
• Feels slightly cheap, sadly
• Good price
• Audio quality - comparable to the IAudio 7 - hard to say as the 7 died, hence the D2+
• Touch screen seems to be resistive, so using tip of fingernail or the included stylus is the way to go.
• Menus generally quite intuitive, though it took me a few minutes to find the "back" button on the browser ;-)
• Almost double the size of the IAudio 7 but still pocketable. I worry about the screen though.
• Startup somewhat slow

Bottom line: awesome player for the price.
