Like a supermodel who's dressed to the nines but can't carry on an intelligent conversation to save her life, Cowon's Q5W will seduce you with its sexy looks but just as quickly disappoint you with a serious lack of substance. Cowon's baffling new portable media player, available in 40GB or 60GB models, also costs a fortune ($550 to $800, depending on capacity and add-ons), requires incredibly high maintenance (no battery recharging via PC), and weighs 13.4 ounces (light for a supermodel, but heavy for a portable media player). Sure, the device's 5-inch touch screen is large and sharp. It's ideal for watching movies, browsing photos, or surfing the Web—all of which the Q5W does, but none with grace or speed. Something as seemingly simple as finding the music menu is a challenge. Sadly, even the excellent EQ, FM radio, voice recorder, and the included games can't save this glamorous mess.
