Cowon ’s V5 has been out and about in South Korea for just over two months now, but thankfully for the Yanks who are downright flustered with the existing PMP options here in the States, the company has decided to bring this beaut stateside. Boasting a 4.8-inch resistive touchscreen (800 x 480 resolution), a Windows CE 6.0 underlying OS, HDMI / USB sockets (via adapters from a proprietary socket), a voice recorder, integrated speaker, 3.5mm headphone jack, 8/16/32GB of internal storage, an SDHC expansion slot, a battery good for 45 hours of music playback (or 10 hours with video) and a format support list that would drive you batty to read, there’s a lot (lot!) to love about this thing on paper. We were fortunate enough to get our hands on one of the first units to ship to America, so hop on past the break for our two pennies.

Gateway isn’t daring to call its ED14D a netbook — probably because of that built-in DVD optical drive — but there’s nothing outside of that to prove that it’s anything more. That said, it’s easily one of the most intriguing 11.6-inch machines out there, and while it’s not slated to ship for a few more days still, the crew over at Notebook Italia has managed to get their hands on one. Hit up the Source link if you’ve never seen a netbook with an optical drive before, and then hit this link while asking yourself where you were in January of 2009

Acer’s Aspire 1820PTZ convertible tablet may not be making its London debut until next month, but evidently said machine is alive and well (and shipping, to boot) over in Singapore. One particular enthusiast managed to procure one of the twistable rigs, and as a favor to anyone who appreciates freedom, Kris Kringle and In-N-Out double-doubles, he decided to unbox it, snap a few shots, throw up a video and even toss out a respectable list of impressions. We’re told that Acer crammed just about every piece of bloatware known to mankind onto this thing, and the owner didn’t seem particularly thrilled with the keyboard nor the overall multitouch experience

Archos has already made it abundantly clear that its Windows 7-based Archos 9 media player is US-bound, but just in case you were worried over legalities, this FCC filing should crank your stress level down a notch. Best of all, this particular entry includes external and internal photographs, meaning that the camera-toting employees within the deep, dark FCC labs are actually credited with handling the (admittedly messy) dissection. Shocking pixels await you in the read link, so make sure you go in fully prepared

At this point, we’re beginning to wonder if we’ll ever see ASUS’ Eee Keyboard on store shelves. Heck, we’ve even see it drop by the all-knowing FCC, yet the company has apparently delayed the official debut once more. The kids over at Register Hardware were able to sit down with a tweaked version of the device, which is now slated to ship in early 2010.

Nokia’s 5230 isn’t apt to blow any minds with the likes of the HD2 , Droid and XPERIA X3 on the horizon, but for those perfectly content with a touchscreen-based Symbian S60 5th Edition handset, this one sure looks purty. After dipping its toes in the FCC’s expansive database just last month, a crop of new in the wild shots have surfaced to show off its 3.2-inch display (640 x 360), 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR module and variety of colorful backs. Hit the read link for more pixels if you’re so inclined, and feel free to take the “January 2010″ release date in with a dose of NaCl
