Cowon teases three new touch-screen PVPs

Crave: Cowon is teasing three new portable video players for the upcoming 2008 IFA showcase in Berlin. Along with the Cowon P5 unveiled last month, the newly announced S9, O2, and L3 make up a formidable new product lineup of touch-screen beauties.

The prettiest of the bunch, the Cowon S9, includes a 3.3-inch OLED touch screen (480×272 resolution), music and video playback, photos, Bluetooth, composite video output, FM radio, voice recorder, and a built-in accelerometer that will rotate the screen depending on how it’s held.

Next up is the Cowon O2, a portable video player with a gargantuan amount of video and audio format support. The O2 is being offered in white, pink, and black, with either 8GB, 16GB, or 32GB capacities, which can be expanded using SD memory cards. The O2′s 4.3-inch touch screen can be used for video, photo, and music playback.

Finally, the biggest beast of the bunch, the Cowon L3 is a 7-inch touch-screen PVP (800×480 resolution) that continues Cowon’s encroachment into the realm of GPS.
