Excellent choice for a gift.

Cowon really makes some, lesser known, but quality players!

I own the Cowon A2. Everybody is like WOW! I use it extremely often for school, both for files, and connecting it to the TV. At first, the teachers were like what is that? After a while they all started like expecting me to have it, and some even used stuff from it in the lessons. Even includes the DivX and other codecs ;-)

It's currently the only player beyond our school's "no mp3 player" rules.

You mentioned firmware updates, those are quick and painless. They frequently release good firmware updates. For the A2, I simply drag and drop the file that I downloaded into the root of the drive, unplug my player, and start it, and wuala! "Firmware Update in Progress".

After a couple seconds, it starts up.

I love the USB To Go feature, great for transferring pictures from my memory card over.

Oh, and check out the new Cowon Q5. Quite an amazing player, complete with GPS, WiFi, and other features. (And it runs on Windows Mobile, can install other apps)

Quite a sweet player (I hope it still is classified as an mp3 player...)

Yes, I know I went quite far from the original U2 dicussion, but a lot of it also applies to the U2.
