It is a great little device.
I was looking for something that she could easily use.

I found a review of MP3 players on Consumer Reports (I have a subscription) and the Cowan was listed as an easy to use player for PC and Mac (my wife has a mac).

They listed a different model, but I figured (or maybe hoped) this one would be good too.

Her birthday was this past Saturday, and she likes it (but hasn't used it yet).

Just to check it out, I first charged it on her Mac over night.
It did not require any drivers or anything when I plugged it, and it charged up just fine.
Sunday I put a podcast on it, and some music. But, they were on my PC. When I plugged it into my PC the PC accepted it without additional driver requests, and listed it as an external storage device.
I just opened the folders and copied the podcast and mp3s to a folder. This was simple.

They played just fine, and sounded very good.
I browsed around a little at settings and functions (I quickly tried the FM tuner, it was also easy to use) and then my wife made me put HER birthday gift away. She wants to figure out how to use it herself.

From my impressions, it is a pretty good player, and very easy to use.

After she's had it for a while I'll install the Cowan SW on my PC (it is PC only) and check for firmware updates.
