Not everyone on the planet loves the iPod. In fact, there are plenty of people out there who downright hate the popular music player. If you’re one of these types and want an alternative to the iPod Nano, look no further than the iAudio 7 by Cowon. Equipped with either 4GB or 8GB of flash-memory, this DAP features a bright color screen, long battery life (60 hours apparently), and support for multiple audio formats, including FLAC, WAV, OFF, ASF, WMA, and MP3.
Looks like a decent player for audiophiles or users of FLAC. Though it’s an all-around decent looking player, the price isn’t the greatest in town. The 4GB version will set you back $187 while the 8GB version comes in at $247.

You misspelled “OGG”.
Does anybody like the diagonal scroll bar? I think it would be a little awkward.
I understand that the “swing-touch” as they call it is actually pretty cool and quickly becomes second nature for many.
At least that was the case with the iAudio 6 and I see no reason for it to have changed here. The first and last PMP I bought was the U3 and I love that, this looks like an upgrade in every imaginable way.
