Yeah, I still have my Cowon S9 32GB and it's going strong. The only thing I have always hated about it is that Cowon can't get the playlist thing right. They make good products but they can't get a handle on playlists. Regardless, my player sounds amazing and videos look amazing. I never wanted my music player integrated with my phone. In fact, I don't even own a smartphone. Sony still makes one mp3 player and Cowon, of course, makes a few. Iriver does also but I'm not in love with their players. One of the benefits, imho, of having a separate music player is control and privacy. No one knows what I'm listening to. With a smartphone there's always someone listening. They can see where you've been, what you listen to, read your emails and monitor your phone calls. One day standard cell phone encryption will take care of this problem. I do like my music on a separate device and I love my 32 gb player. There's a great website called anythingbutipod.com. It's for those of us who do not like ipod. In other words, true audiophiles. Check out the forums. They keep everyone updated on new mp3 players.
