Very good
THE GOOD
The Cowon O2 is an affordable and powerful portable media player with outstanding audio and video format support, a large touch-screen display, impressive battery life, and SDHC memory expansion.
THE BAD

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Cowon O2 isn't flashy, but it's an incredible value for a convenient way to take your video library on the go without the hassle of converting files.
