This is another kind of Chumby . Cowon is going to release a Pocket Internet Device Frame that showcases that its main feature is a Haptic Widget UI for the operation of the device. there is no many details on that but that is exactly as how cowon describes it. another example of the use of Widgetized UI`s as a way to enhance usability.

It packs quite great specs for such a device:
“800 x 480 pixels spread across a 5-inch touchscreen display featuring Cowon’s Widget+Haptic UI riding a 700MHz RMI Alchemy AU1250 processor. The P5 packs standard USB and USB-host jacks, T-DMB broadcast TV, FM radio, Bluetooth, TV-out (component, S-Video, and composite), stereo speakers, and up to 80GB of storage in a 138.8 x 88.5 x 20.0-mm slab of "Luxury Hairline Metal" (which sounds like brushed aluminum to us). It comes pre-installed with a Win CE Internet browser (a clumsy WiFi dongle can be added via the USB jack), MS Office document viewer, electronic dictionary, and support for AVI, ASF, WMV, MPG, OGM, DivX, Xvid, MPEG4, WMV9, MP3, WMA, AC3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and a few more media formats/codecs with a battery capable of about 9-hours of video or 14-hours of straight audio”
I certainly would like to try one out.
