Cowon recently announced to come up with a new widescreen portable media player for the Korean market. Thought presently it is for the Korean market, but nothing can be said whether it will ever make it to American shores, we will have to wait for it. The COWON L2 is the successor of the N2 with an improved onboard memory of 2GB, a big leap from the 64MB of the N2. Now let’s talk about the most interesting part of L2, which is that it comes with built-in GPS technology, whereby users will be able to navigate around their much loved urban environment at the same time enjoying a video on-screen. Talking of on-screen, Cowon’s newest portable media player is touted to provide a somewhat matchless (PIP) picture-in-picture function thus users can in fact split the display between what is being watched by them and their GPS navigation. Further than GPS and PIP technologies users are provided with several other stuff in this razor-sharp looking PMP. The Cowon L2 consists of AVI/MPEG-4 video playback, WAV/ASF/WMA/MP3 audio file support, BMP/PNG/JPG picture file display, 2GB of integrated memory (expandable via a SD memory card slot), FM radio, integrated speakers, a DMB tuner for digital television viewing (where supported), USB 2.0 and a non-glare screen.
