A couple of years ago we saw the beginnings of a brief but significant splurge of screenless MP3 players, most notably highlighted by the iPod shuffle. With a focus on portability and convenience, these are designed to be small and light enough to carry while exercising or on the move without having to dig out and lug around a more capable but more cumbersome player.
Have movements in the mobile phone arena all but eliminated the need for such a dedicated device? Cowon hopes not, as its iAudio E2 harks back to the unassuming MP3 player accessory that’s designed to be carried around in a pocket or on a keychain. To this end it’s superbly small, slim and light, and features a stainless steel hoop at one end for easy attachment. 2GB or 4GB capacities allow for a decent collection of tunes, uploaded via the hybrid 3.5mm port at the base, which also doubles as a charger.
