looking for a new mp3 player. I like the P2, any others?

Hello,
Im looking for a new mp3 player since my old nano is kickin out. I really like the P2, does anyone have it? How do you like it? Are there any other similar players I should look at?
What I like about the P2 is:
Touch screen
Video
Bluetooth capabilites(for headphones, and the novelty of answerin ur phone through ur mp3 player.)
radio
So any other player would need to have this as well.

thnx for any help

 

woah I was in the same situation as you ,.. My Nano was dying and I got a P2... It's great,especially the Bluetooth and the tochscreen

 

well only other touchscreen mp3 player out there is the ipod touch, but the p2 > itouch

 

The Cown D2 is pretty good.
It has a 2.5" touch screen, Radio, Video capabilities, it doesn't have bluetooth but i think you can get a bluetooth adapter for it (not sure about this, best check it out). Also it has 52hrs audio and 10hrs video playback (compared to the P2's 35hrs audio and 5hrs video, that pretty good). Plus it's got a SDHC card slot so you can expand the memory.
However it costs a bit more that the P2

That's my 2 cents

 

Your an idiot.

I have a Cowon D2 which is touch screen and I am very impressed with it. I was very surprised at how easy it was for me to navigate it. The P2 is a good player though, but I don't have one so I can't compare it to the D2. iRiver is releasing a new touchscreen player also, I'm not sure when it will be out in the states though(Its called the W7). MPIO also has a really nice looking 3" one coming, but I don't know if that one will ever make it to the usa.

 

Plenty of media players have some or most of those features, but the P2 is the only one I know of that has every one of those features.

 

go with the Ipod Touch,wifi,great interface,+ all the cool homebrew stuff you can do with it

 

I use a Archos 605 WiFi and the iPod Touch. I know everyone has heard about the touch so I will concentrate on the Archos (Which I like better then the touch BTW)

-4.3" Touch Screen
-4gb flash or 30-40-60-160 gb hard drives
-WiFi
-Opera web browser with REAL Flash support unlike the portaled Youtube videos of the itouch
-800 x 480 screen resolution
-Optional DVR Station
-Free Dish-Network DVR content portal support

I picked my 4gb flash with SD slot for $175 and another $60 for a 16 gig flash card. The opera browser is a plugin and is an extra $30. With the WiFi you can easily transfer files and/or stream content over your network. Quite a bit bigger then the other options listed in the threads. If you are looking for a primary music player I would look elsewhere... but for video and WiFi browsing it is much much much much better then my touch (I have both btw). The Music interface is not bad but I think there are other options that are better. But there is nothing that does everything as good or better than the Archos IMHO (When it comes ti video, music, and web). The touch has a nicer interface for browsing (Stylus is required with the Archos) but the Opera browser renders pages better (though slower) and the flash support makes it even better. Hard to beat the 800 x 480 res when browsing too. The larger screen makes the keyboard bigger and easier to touch-type with then the touch too. I also prefer how that Archos sets up as a external hard drive and is drag and drop instead of being forced to go through iTunes.

I business travel a lot so I almost exclusivly use the Archos because I can plug my Archos into my Dishnet DVR and sync content to it. I also have the Cinema plug in (Another $20) and it will also play VOB files with full 5.1 AC3 support. You can buy a DVR dock for the Archos also and use it to schedule and record live TV like a Tivo.

I've only touched the surface on what all the unit can do, from the picture viewer, pdf reader, USB host, etc.

 

The COWON Q5W meets all those requirements too (and more). But the navigation is terrible. Absolutely terrible. I can't figure out (still) how to make it play all my songs.

But if it's features you're talking about, you really can't beat the Q5W. But then again, it's straddling the line between PMP and UMPC.

 

I would honestly go with the Zune. Although the software is just ****ty, the actual player is amazing. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

It's not a touch screen or anything, but it's pretty sweet.

 

QFT. i have the 30gb zune and at one point had the 8gb zune at the same time. love(d) em both. Zune comes to canada this spring! so any day now!

yayy! finally some support for my zuney
