Compatible with virtually all audio file formats and the several video formats, the Cowon D2 can quickly become the hub of a party when hooked up to a PA system or stereo. While the Cowon D2 is handy everyday of the year, on St. Patrick’s Day, it is indispensible.

Imagine an MP3 player, video player, FM tuner and voice recorder located in one device. Now, imagine that device taking up no more space than the palm of your hand. The Cowon D2 is that device. With its touchscreen interface and folding kickstand, the Cowon D2 combines portability and ease of use with stationary features that make the multimedia player feel right at home on a desk at the office or a tray on a plane. And, with its impressive battery life and built-in SD card reader and TV output, the Cowon D2 offers a degree of PC-independence unlike most multimedia devices, making it perfect for long days away from the monitor like St. Patrick’s Day. Best of all, the Cowon D2 has a built-in alarm clock, giving its users an edge if their St. Patrick’s Day festivities take them away from their normal schedule and settings.

Cultural Appeal:   Excellent

With its lime green finish, the Cowon D2 makes a statement come St. Patrick’s Day while serving as a testament of style year round.

Whether it’s the St. Patrick’s Day parade, party or the local pub, the multimedia player is certain to become a guest of honor, granted the music and video strike the right chord and don’t deviate from the day at hand too much.
