Cowon S9 slated for release in Korea this month
It seems like forever that we’ve been hearing about the Cowon S9 Curve, a sexy Protable Media Player (PMP) with a 3.3-inch 16 million color scratch-resistant touchscreen, and the wait is almost over. Cowon has finally made this puppy official, given it a release date and priced it – in Korea. On December 16th, a week from tomorrow, Korean S9 admirers will finally be able to purchase the player. As for pricing, the S9 will come in three flavors:
- 4 GB – 219,000 won ($150)
- 8 GB – 259,000 won ($178)
- 16 GB – 309,000 won ($212)
Not bad at all! We still have no word on a US release though speculation points to availability some time in January. Hit the jump for a few slides from Cowon that cover the “Advanced GUI System” pretty nicely.

now its either between this or the Ipod Touch .
but i’m totally leaning towards this dimepiece.

THIS THING LOOKS VERY STYLISH/SEXY AN MIGHT BE PUTTING THE IPOD TOUCH TO SHAME SOME LOL..AN THE PRICE ISN’T BAD EITHER, ACTUALLY VERY AFFORDABLE!!
I wonder how the audio quality is…
That is stunning.
How do we get our paws on one of these in the states??
This is GUI and form factor iphone and BB storm should have had. Stick a phone and web browser on it and I am there.
Its a sexy device but does she give head and swallow is what everyone wants to know! lol But really like guy above said, put a 5G network on it and a mean browser and I’m all for it!

The sound quality on Cowon devices far surpass that of other companies. They focus on what’s important in an audio player, the music (not appeal, like some other devices). They have a big reputation and have found their own comfortable niche in the audiophile community. Swing on over to head-fi.org to see what I’m talking about.
