I am a iPod hater as many here know so I just decided to share what I think is going to be the next iPod Touch Killer. The Cowon O2.
I have been keeping track of this(God's gift as Google News) and have found out that this is being released very soon. In Korea it's just been released and according to the price's there, it looks like its priced against the iPod Touch.
Here's info on the Korean Launch and prices:

Here's the prices of the Apple iPod Touch:

I believe it beat's the iPod Touch hands down because it has a SD slot but it also has a large amount of files supported.
File Types supported my the Cowon O2:
ivX, XviD, WMV, H.264, M-JPEG, MPEG-4 SP / ASP, MPEG1 videos and MP3, WMA, AC3, AAC, FLAC, OGG, Apple Lossless, WAV, G.726, PCM, True Audio , Monkey Audio, MusePack. Wow, that Monkey Audio (APE lossless)
But what Cowon believes is the iPod Touch killer is the Cowon S9:
It's going to come in 8Gb, 16Gb, and 32Gb but I'm not sure about the pricing. It supports most of the file types that the O2 supports.
What price would these have to be for you to buy them over the iPod?
