Cowon A2

by Glorybox3737 Mar 19, 2006 9:21AM PST

Here are 4 reasons why the A2 is better

1. Video Battery Life - The A2(10h) has 5.5 more hours of battery life for video than the AV500(4.5).
2. Screen - The A2 has 16 million color screen. The AV500 has only 262,000
3. Music Battery Life - The A2(18h) has 3 more hours of battery life for music than the AV500(15H)
4. Cost - The A2($419.99) is $79.96 less than the AV500($499.95)

So I say get the A2. With the A2 you can enjoy watching a better picture longer. You can also use all that money you saved to get a couple more movies
