Cowon officially announces the J3

Cowon officially announces the J3Well would you look at that, Cowon has officially announced the J3. The player has already received a 2010 reddot design award, and deservingly so from the looks of it. The J3 actually has a lot in common with the S9, but one-ups it by adding a microSD expansion slot. It also gets a nice bump in battery life, with an estimated 64 hours of audio playback time.

Cowon J3 Specs

• Capacity: 4, 8, 16, and 32GB with microSD expansion
• Display: 3.3' AMOLED touchscreen (480 x 272 resolution)
• Audio: MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, APE, and WAV
• Video: AVI, Divx, Xvid, and WMV (supports resolutions up to 480 x 272 at 30fps)
• Bluetooth/FM Tuner/recorder/DMB (for Korea)
• Voice and Line-in recorder
• Extras: Flash games, calculator, TXT
• Battery life: 64 hours for Audio, 11 hours for video
• Dimensions: 56.0 x 106.6 x 9.9mm (weight: 76g)

The J3 is one sexy looking device. It'd be even sexier with some WiFi love, but I won't complain. Pricing ranges from 189,000 to 329,000 Korean Won, or roughly $167 to $291US (add another 30,000 KRW/$26 for DMB models).
