Cowon iAudio G2 (1GB, dark blue) Reviews

CNET editors has reviewed Cowon iAudio G2 (1GB, dark blue) and has given it 7.3 out of 10

The good: The Cowon iAudio G2 delivers great sound quality and sound-enhancement options, plays protected WMA files, and features line-in recording.

The bad: The Cowon iAudio G2 is a bit large for a flash-based player, lacks an FM tuner, and most notably, uses the slow USB 1.1 protocol for transfers.

The bottom line: The Cowon iAudio G2’s terrific audio quality and ease of use overcome its lack of USB 2.0 connectivity.
