We are running on Bluetooth fumes on this one, but it appears that Korean PMP makers Cowon will be putting out a MID (Mobile Internet Device) called the W2. No information at all yet really, but thanks to this listing at bluetooth.org we know it will be a MID running Bluetooth 2.0 and feature an Atom processor. The design descriptions lists “Intel ATOM 4.8” which I think means the device will have a 4.8 inch screen like MIDS such as the Viliv S5 and Aigo.

I love Cowen’s products, having had good experiences with the D2+ and the Q5W. It will be interesting to see what OS this MID would run, since most larger Cowon products have run Windows CE embedded. Also, considering Cowen’s expertise with video and sound quality (their JetAudio system is the finest mobile audio system I have ever used) this could be one very impressive media-oriented MID…or it could just be bluetooth-scented vapourwear. Stay tuned.
