Cowon S9 Curve

The latest player to come to the US from Cowon is the sleek S9 Curve. This device is rumored to be released stateside in mid-December. In the meantime, here are the specs:
The 57.08 x 105.75 x 12.7-mm player (a bit shorter and narrower than
the 8-mm thick iPod touch with 4.3-inch display) will initially ship
with 8GB / 16GB of storage before getting bumped to 32GB sometime down
the road. A 3.5-hour charge off the mains (5.5-hours off USB) will
deliver up to 8-hours of video (MPEG-4 SP, WMV9 SP, H.264 BP codecs) or
40 hours of audio (MP3, WMA, OGG, FLAC, WAV formats). Integrated
Bluetooth is of the more power hungry 2.0 (not 2.1) variety with
support for A2DP stereo and AVRCP remote control profiles. The S9 for
Europe supports FM recording and dictation buts lacks the integrated
DMB television tuner of its Korean cousin.
