Cowon Q5 Personal Media Player Launches In Far East

The Cowon Q5 Personal Media Player has caught our eye as a device that is getting the tech press salivating and has the potential to be a great portable WiFi radio.

You'll notice our use of the word 'potential' there. That's because none of the bumph that accompanied the Korean launch actually makes any explicit mention of audio streaming, but all the clues are there.

1. It has WiFi connectivity
2. It runs Windows Mobile 5.0 Professional, therefore has media player
3. They would be mad not to!

Take a closer look at the complete spec list and we challenge you to not want one of these high end personal media players if they ever reach UK shores.

• AMD Alchemy 500Mhz CPU
• 5 inch colour touch screen
• 40 or 60GB hard drive
• HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth connectivity
• FM radio

Oh, and it looks great too. The Cowon Q5 Personal Media Player is estimated at $499 (40GB) and $549 (60GB) with UK release details not yet available.
