Somewhat Official Specs of the Cowon J3 PMP Showed Up Online
Though the J3 PMP from Cowon has been rumored for a few months now, it still remains at this stage. The producers have issued a press release that tells us the J3 has received some Red Dot Design awards this year and it will most likely be launched on the local market, while the rest of us are still left wondering about its actual specs.
Movieplayer has been more than generous in offering some details regarding this player from Cowon and they are very impressive, making you want to move to Japan or at least ask a friend who lives there to send you one later this month. This is the most certain piece of information on the J3 so far, its March launch on the local market.
The J3 is rumored to have a 3.3-inch AMOLED screen capable of 480 x 272 resolution and also sensing touch commands. It will come in three different capacities of four, eight and 16 GB and will have the newer Bluetooth 3.0 technology. It will also have TV-out, for easy transferring of media content from the PMP, on the big screen TV.
The specs given by Movieplayer are quite cool and if you add the fact that it has been appreciated by Red Dot Design Award this year, this J3 player from Cowon might be one of the coolest PMPs we have seen so far in 2010.
It has a brushed metal case, which gives it some sleek looks accentuated by its slim size. I personally like the way it looks, but until the Japanese release it in the Western part of the planet, I have only this picture to admire. The Japanese have a way of teasing us with some of their cool products that I haven’t yet gotten used to.
