The Good: The Cowon iAudio T2 offers great sound quality and a tiny, wearable design; includes an FM tuner and voice recorder; the display, though small, is bright and easy to read.
The Bad: Photo viewing and video playback won't be found on the iAudio T2; controls take some getting used to.
The Bottom Line: Mac and Windows users in need of a small, music-centric MP3 player with great sound quality and an FM tuner will be pleased by the Cowon iAudio T2.
