'poor audio'

'Shortcomings like occasionally unresponsive controls and weak video support are disappointing, but the overall good looks, top-notch user interface, and value factor cancel them out.'

'Samsung's been a little stingy with the screen.'

'The battery life for audio is appalling.'

'I had trouble even finding suitable video to use for my tests: The device supports only certain .avi files and variants of Windows Media (.wmv) files.'

'The main issue is the control pad--it's just bad.'

'Sluggish UI.'

'The video was grainy and exhibited poor contrast, and bright colors--especially yellow--appeared blotchy and badly pixelated.'

'there's no elegant handling of podcasts.'

'I think this is a valiant attempt but still falls short of ideal.'

'The Cowon D2 is pricier than similarly featured MP3 players,'

'It looks a little clunky'

'the whine the D2 adds to the recordings is rather irritating.'

'Resolution is bad, color reproduction is terrible, and gradient is very harsh.'

'For the price of $170 for the 2GB version, it's a little tough to swallow,'
