One of our favorite MP3 players is getting an upgrade. Cowon announced the iAudio 7 today in Korea, updating their micro-drive iAudio 6 player to a lighter, leaner flash-based player. The update includes a significant jump in battery life, from 20 hours to a remarkable 60 hours. The iAudio 6 supports standard audio formats such as MP3, AAC, WMA, ASF, WAV, and even beloved (yet rarely supported) formats such as OGG and FLAC. It looks as though many of the great features of its predecessor have been maintained, including line-in recording, voice recording, video playback, BBE sound enhancer, and its unique touch-scroll interface.

Korea will see the player mid-July, unveiled in 4GB and 8GB capacities, and priced at $182 and $246, respectively. No word on whether this will ever reach the U.S., however.

NEWS AND PICTURE TAKEN FROM DAPREVIEW.NET

Dear Donald, Please give credit to where you got that image from. I cropped that image being used for my newspost at DAPreview. It's so obviously my image because there was Korean text on the site which I cleared away. The sizing is nearly exact as well so I know you got it from my site. Please stop taking images from other sites without giving credit from where you got the news from. Here is the news I'm talking about: http://www.dapreview.net/comment.php?comment.news.3987 Thanks, Michael DAPreview.net
