Cowon D2 2.50 (beta) firmware
June 18, 2007
The latest firmware for my D2 has added some great time consumers to the player – namely flash games. We’re (D2 users that is) pretty lucky that the iRiver clix has such a similar navigation system and has had loads of flash games developed for it. These are generally compatible with the D2 using either the touch screen directional or mouse-like interface, for which you get a choice before running each flash game. Typically the Clix developed games use the 4 way buttons at the sides of the touchscreen, this matches up nicely with the 4-way click screen available on the clix. I found a nice collection of games available in 1 download at this site. Most work fine, others have a few quirks to do with navigation etc.
All in all, very impressed. Makes me proud to be a Cowon customer. Can’t wait for some D2 specific games that fully utilise the touch-screen.

He was good enough to share his findings so far, so in a vain attempt at living vicariously through his experiences i’m posting his review on the other side of the following more-link….
