Cowon have officially announced the L3 combination PMP and GPS navigator, with a 7-inch touchscreen display, dual-core processor (each core running at 480MHz) and DMB digital TV. First spotted back in August last year, the L3’s sizable display runs at 800 x 480 WVGA with 128MB of SDRAM, 4GB of storage and an SD card.
Cowon have released a new version of the SDK for their O2 PMP, allowing developers to create third-party apps for the device without needing to actually have the O2 to hand. The software now includes an emulator, which means new code can be tested more readily rather than needing to transfer it to the PMP itself.
If you’ve been waiting for the O2, you’re in luck. Cowon has officially announced the release of their O2 touchscreen portable media player today and it packs in quite a few features.
Cowon have announced European pricing for their O2 media player, announced at IFA 2008 and set to launch in November 2008. The O2 has a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 touchscreen, T-DMB digital TV tuner and 8, 16 or 32GB of internal storage that can be augmented via an SD/SDHC slot. Prices start from €289.99 ($400).
A trio of new PMPs from Cowon today, waiting in the wings for their official announcement at IFA 2008. Each has a touchscreen and Cowon’s typically minimal selection of hardware buttons, with the range starting out with the most compact, the S9 Curve. The first from the company to use an AMOLED display, the screen measures 3.3-inches and has a T-DMB digital TV tuner as well as audio & video playback.
