It is once you get past the glitzy interface of the Ipod touch that the reason that they Cowon S9 in video MP3 player is a better MP3 video player than the iPod touch becomes apparent. Let's start with the sound quality. The sound quality on the Cowon S9 video MP3 player is second to none. The sound is richer and warmer and is re-created far more accurately than the iPod touch. There are several reasons that the Cowon S9 has a better sound quality most of which are the fact that the Cowon has five features that provide better sound including a five band equalizer a 3-D surround sound audio analyzer, an MP enhanced engine which restores digitalized music, and an enhanced low frequency-based specter which gives amazing lows.
And while the iPod touch may be famous for its display screen the Cowon S9 has a 16 million color 480 x 276 pixel resolution which has a unique low-power displays system that allows for amazing display quality at any angle. The AMOLED that the Cowon S9 news is is 1000 times faster than regular LCD screens so movies play without any of the problems of ghosting that traditional LCD displays have. After watching the same video on both the Cowon S9 and the iPod touch it is very easy to distinguish that the Cowon S9 plays video far better than the iPod touch.
Another thing that makes the Cowon S9 a better video and employee three player than the iPod touches the fact that you can choose whatever video or audio codecs that you like. The Cowon S9 will play any AVI and WMD video files, and even supports Xvid which is the most common codec amongst downloaded movies from the Internet. What this means is that you're able to download your movie directly from the Internet and pop it on your Cowon S9 player without having to convert the video file to suit the player. Anyone who has spent three hours waiting for their video to convert just to put it on their iPod touch knows how frustrating this can be.
One of the features that I like best about the Cowon S9 that makes it hands down better than the iPod touches that they Cowon S9 features a composted video out which allows you to send a video signal to your television. With the iPod touch you or are limited to having to purchase proprietary dongles and forced to use the Apple software, whereas the Cowon S9 allows you to use your content how and where you would like.
