The flash-based Cowon iAudio F1 includes an FM tuner/recorder, voice and line-in recording, OGG support, excellent sound quality, and a compact, unique race car design.
The Cowon iAudio F1 is a little pricey, and it lacks DRM support. None of the other announced colors and capacities will be available, so you're stuck with the black 1GB model. The device also has subpar battery life, the USB/power cable is proprietary, and line-in recording maxes out at 128Kbps.
The good-sounding Cowon iAudio F1 is the perfect fit for race car fans and male preteens, but lack of DRM support and lower-than-expected battery life make it only a typical choice among grown-ups.
