Cowon iAudio 7 DAP Brings The Goods

Not everyone on the planet loves the iPod. In fact, there are plenty of people out there who downright hate the popular music player. If you’re one of these types and want an alternative to the iPod Nano, look no further than the iAudio 7 by Cowon. Equipped with either 4GB or 8GB of flash-memory, this DAP features a bright color screen, long battery life (60 hours apparently), and support for multiple audio formats, including FLAC, WAV, OFF, ASF, WMA, and MP3.

Looks like a decent player for audiophiles or users of FLAC. Though it’s an all-around decent looking player, the price kinda sucks! The 4GB version will set you back $187 while the 8GB version comes in at $247.

One Million Zunes (Somehow) Sold

Wow!! Talk about a big time shock over the weekend.

Microsoft somehow managed to sell one million Zunes. Robbie Bach, Microsoft’s president of Entertainment and Devices, said that Microsoft had met its goal and that more Zune things will come later this year.

I could understand a smaller company getting excited about hitting this number, but Microsoft? Apple during their Q4 sold 14 million ipods, granted that was during the holiday season but it puts these numbers into comparison. Zune doesn't look so big anymore!!!

Microsoft, you've got a little more work ahead of you.
