16 Mar 10 Cowon shows off unannounced J3
On the front page of Cowon’s Korean site you’ll find a banner announcing the company’s 2010 red dot design award winners. Cowon has won this highly coveted award numerous times in past years, but usually they’re for players that were already announced. Among the players shown, there’s one that may catch your eye. It has a similar form-factor to the Cowon S9, but with a brushed aluminum build and a new interface. According to [link], we’re looking at the Cowon J3.
The J3 shares most of its specs with the S9, making it more of a cosmetic makeover than a completely new player. It has the same 3.3″ AMOLED touchscreen, comes in 4, 8, and 16GB capacities, and has Bluetooth and a G-sensor built it. The player is said to be released later this month. Hopefully Cowon actually announces it before that happens.
