Cowon has finally made its latest and greatest PMP official, and the spec sheet does not disappoint.

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 .
