From what i can see, the 4Gb model retails for anywhere between £100 and £130.
Looks cool.
The Cowon D2 from what I understand is a far better portable media player than this Meizu. For a similar price - the Cowon D2 4GB retails slightly more but it has far superior sound quality along with a much better battery life. The Meizu's shell also mimics some of the "already existing" brands. The D2 on the other hand does not and boasts a touch-screen with expandable memory. Although D2 is aimed at the top-end market whilst Meizu is lower-midrange.
BoomAM said:The Meizu has a touch screen afaik? (unless im confusing it with something else), and has a slick GUI iirc.
We talking about the Meizu M6? Touch controls yes but not literally a touch-screen. Firmware for the Cowons are continuously being released for greater support and compatibility and the device can only get better.
Video support on the M6 is only up to 20FPS, whereas Cowon D2 is 30FPS.
Well... I'm just pumping out facts and figures here. But here's a few YouTube videos:

The Cowon looks nice. Ive gotta admit, its peaked my interest.
Thanks for pointing it out.
Whats the biggest SD card around? Is it still only 4Gb? Because if 8Gbs come out, then i might seriously consider getting one of those Cowons.

8GB SDHC cards do exist but the current firmware seems to support up to 4GB standard SDs at the moment. There have been several beta firmware versions which may allow 8GB SDHC but I'm pretty sure Cowon will release a stable revision for these cards soon. 8GB SD's are pretty expensive though.
If you get the 4GB model + 8GB SD = You'd end up with a 12GB "Flash" MP3 player. 
I think your getting confused. The D2 doesnt have ANY memory built in. It requires a SD card for its memory.kbc said:8GB SDHC cards do exist but the current firmware seems to support up to 4GB standard SDs at the moment.

##EDIT##
How very odd. The Cowon website makes no mention of built in memory. Yet a google search brings up a few sites that say that there are 2Gb & 4Gb models?

Huh!?!
I'm not confused. 
I have one of these Cown D2's myself BoomAM. Please look here for a far detailed specification.
I have the 2GB model and I have expanded it by adding a 2GB SD card to it. See my other thread for photos.
The Cowon D2 has built-in memory of 2GB or 4GB and there have been rumours of a 8GB model. Each one of these being expandable by using flash SD cards.
