Cowan iAudio U3

Cowan iAudio U3 - Now on Sale

The Cowan iAudio U3 is very similar to the highly accomplished Cowan iAudio U2 player which rated very highly in our previous group test. There are two major differences between the Cowan iAudio U3 and the U2. The U3 is the worlds first Flash Memory mp3 player that supports FLAC files and this model includes a colour screen that will play video at 15fps.

If we say that the average CD in FLAC (a lossless compressed codec) form is 200-400 MB then the 2GB model will hold from 5-10 CDs and remember this is a 32.5g solid state mp3 player not an iPod! The Cowan iAudio U3 has a 1.2", 160x128 pixel, 260k colour TFT LCD screen. The screen can be used to view short Mpeg4 video at upto 15fps.
