In case you have bought the new Cowon S9 PMP you should know that Cowon has released a second firmware update, v2.06 which will get you JPG album art support for all .jpg files and it will fix a bug which caused the system to reboot after the “remove hardware from PC” appeared. The most important update is the Bluetooth speaker support. That means you can stream songs to any Bluetoot-enabled system around you.

I know you were waiting for Cowon’s 16GB PMP beauty to arrive only on Friday in America but the player is available from JetMall. It’s said to be on sale and already shipping to those consumers that asked Santa for it. The PMP costs only $239.99 and it could be yours already. Too expensive or too cheap? Well Santa will have to be the judge of that! Now that you know this Cowon will actually make it to your Christmas tree in time for Christmas you’ll just have to keep your fingers crossed for Santa to order it already.

Didn’t we say we’ll keep you updated about the gorgeous portable media player Cowon S9 Curve that was first seen on September? Well, the updates come in the form of rumours that the device will finally get into the US market during the month of December, but unfortunately there still isn’t exact information about its price.

Anyhow, the Cowon S9 Curve is a good-looking MP3 player as you can see on the image, and the 3.3-inch Amoled screen is one of the specs that makes it gorgeous. It will become available in two models - 8GB and 16GB - and will most likely use BBE technology for top-notch sound quality.

We’ll keep you updated with more information when price is announced.

Cowon is already known for coming up with products that have 5 stars in the design category, and the latest S9 Curve is no exception. This portable media player has the chrome look + rounded corners that will most likely make people think it is an Apple product…

Thanks to the big storage capacity options - 8GB or 16GB - it means you won’t have to worry much about the lack of space to add more audio or video content. The best part is that there will be a 32GB version in the “near future”. Obviously, the S9 Curve can read the majority of audio/video file formats, and even has a TV output function.

In order to make everything work, the processor is powered by a dual-core at 500MHz. In addition there is bluetooth, FM tuner, a voice recorder, and T-DMB for digital TV on the go.
