I think iSlate would have been much better.
would've been nice to see this be more useful as far as productivity goes - like have the ability to connect to a usb or, even better, bluetooth keyboard and such.
as far as any media players go, i think their on the way out. the best phones already serve both purposes and that trend will only continue. why carry around two devices when you can have a phone, skype/google talk integration, gigabytes or media storage, and web/push email all in one device?
not if you care about sound quality. i want a great sounding mp3 player last place id be looking is i phone. people just choose iphone/ipod because they dont know anything else exists.
most mac people have never heard of cowon and lack technical knowledge.
most mac people dont even know what gapless playback is.
