So those rumors were true! Cowon just put up a teaser image of the iAudio 9 on their front page It has a pretty clean looking design, with a simplistic interface to match. The GUI reminds me of the iriver E100 actually, which it seems to be competing with on paper. It has a 2.0" display, a uilt-in speaker, FM tuner, and recorder, and the great codec support we've come to expect from Cowon (FLAC, OGG, APE, AVI, WMV, Xvid). It even supports AV-Out. No word on capacities, or release date yet, but we'll make sure to update you when we find out.
