The picture is probably enough for you to realize that this is the successor of the Cowon iAudio 6, as few changes have been made to the exterior of the player, but what you can't see is that the mini 0.85” hard drive has been replaced by flash memory in 4GB and 8GB sizes. The outstanding support for audio formats (MP3, WMA, ASF, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC) is still there, as are the 1.3” 260K-color OLED screen, FM radio, voice recorder, and support for XviD, TXT, and JPEG files.
The new player's 60-hour battery life is a dramatic increase over its predecessor's 20-hour playback time.
The Cowon iAudio 7 will be released in Korea on the 18th of July, but so far no international release date has been set.
