Cowon A3 Review - Gadgetaholic

Cowon-A3-Review.jpg

A review of the Cowon A3 multimedia player has been posted over at Gadgetaholic.com. 'The user interface of the A3 is very intuitive; you hardly need to open a manual to use this player. Its main screen shows icons representing all the 10 main functions of the player. These include Movie, Music, Photo, Document, Browser, Mobile TV, Radio, Record, Recent Files and Setup. The user navigates through the user interface using a 4-direction joystick and 4 slim buttons (Back, A, B and C). To perform a function, the user presses down on the joystick. The Back button takes the user back to the previous screen. The rest of the buttons change functions depending on what screen is current displaying.

In practice, however, the user will find that the joystick does not always perform the function it is supposed to do. Specifically, pressing down on the joystick to perform a function may occasionally make the player think that you're pressing on it sideways and not down. This can be rather frustrating as you may want the player to do one thing and it's doing something entirely different. However, over time, the user will learn how to apply just the right amount of pressure to master the joystick.'
