The tradeoff, of course, is that the Cowon A3's glossy plastic screen is a magnet for both fingerprints and scratches. The A3's 4-inch, 800x480 LCD is sharp and gorgeous. Fortunately, it's got it where it counts-the screen. The Cowon A3 isn't the slimmest or lightest portable video player we've seen, considering that it weighs in at 0.6 pounds and measures 5.2x0.9x3.1 inches. The Cowon A3 comes in either 30GB ($349) or 60GB ($399) models. While the complaints we had about last year's model still persist (frustrating joystick navigation and lack of DRM support), the improvements Cowon has made internally to the A3 make its shortcomings forgivable. A dedicated switch on the bottom of the Cowon A3 switches between viewing content on the LCD display or the video output.Ĭosmetically indistinguishable from the Cowon A2 portable video player we adored last year, the Cowon A3 is a subtle evolution of a great product. The composite and S-Video output feature on the A3 requires an included cable adapter.
