Cowon's iAudio A2--a new kind of portable video player

A video iPod with a 2-inch screen would be kind of cool, but it would be a small fish next to Cowon's upcoming iAudio A2. The Korean company's first true PVP, the A2's endearing feature is the ability to playback MPEG-4, DivX, XviD, and WMV video files--without the need for transcoding. Basically, what this means is that you simply transfer a file over as is, and it will play back. Or so Cowon claims.
