Cowon seem to be carving a good niche for themselves with good-design and, judging by the reviews, superlative audio quality.

Creative’s Zen X-Fi certainly has the spec-sheet to take on Apple’s PMP range, but until now we weren’t sure it followed through with the usability. Jenn over at Pocketables has been playing with what must be one of the first out of the shipping crates, and while she likes the PMP it does seem to [...]
Creative made things official with the Zen X-Fi PMP earlier this week in Singapore, confirming that the music and video capable player would be hitting shelves there imminently. Now, courtesy of Buy.com, we have US pricing, and it turns out the figures are pretty close to like-for-like conversions.

PC Mag have just reviewed the player but, strangely, there’s no mention of the speaker accessory; [...]
Onda’s VX777+ PMP is, quite obviously, designed to resemble the iPod Touch. That’s clear, but then plenty of manufacturers give a nod to Apple when it comes to the drawing board; more important, then, is what functionality it brings to the table. Pride of place at the top of the spec list is a 3-inch [...]
While Nextar insist on calling their new T30 PMP ”sleek and stylish”, and I’d argue it’s actually more “bland and mildly orange”, what we can probably both agree on is that there’s a fair chunk of functionality for your $99.99.
