Cowon’s V5W PMP: a V5 with 100 percent more WiFi

What do you get when you marry a V5 with WiFi? Why, a V5W, of course! Cowon’s sexy V5 portable media player — a device we (mostly) loved on back in March — has just gained the primary feature that we argued should’ve been included from the start.

Cowon has finally made its latest and greatest PMP official, and the spec sheet does not disappoint. Mixing appealing curves with a 4.8-inch display, the V5 HD offers 720p video playback that can be channeled out via HDMI or Composite outputs. On the software front, there’s the usual litany of wide-ranging file compatibility and basic apps — cortesy of Windows CE 6.0 — as well as a world clock, RSS reader, Flash games, voice recorder, and an optional T-DMB tuner .


Cowon V5 HD PMP turns up in ad ahead of launch

We’re not quite sure if this is an actual teaser ad or one that just slipped out ahead of the proper launch, but it looks like the brief commercial after the break is the first anyone has seen of Cowon’s new V5 HD PMP. Unfortunately, the ad doesn’t offer much in the way of actual details, although it does appear that the PMP boasts a reasonably large touchscreen, which may or may not actually be HD. Head on past the break to check all 18 seconds of it for yourself
