April 3, 2002 (SEOUL) -- COWON SYSTEMS Inc.

iAUDIO CW200 is designed to not only play MP3 files but also record voices and FM radio broadcasting. This compact, super-lightweight digital audio device adopts 256MB flash memory, a move that COWON hopes will meet the rising demand by digital audio users for larger memory capacity.
As more and more people are rushing to use portable MP3 players to study English and other foreign languages, COWON says it will continue to upgrade and beef up its iAUDIO foreign language download service. Those who purchase iAUDIO are allowed to download the English language study materials formatted in MP3 files and scripts for free at the English study section of COWON's homepage (english.cowon.com). In addition, sophisticated text-to-speech software jetSpeech is downloadable at COWON's homepage.
COWON says jetSpeech's powerful TTS function is aimed at helping users to convert brief memos, study materials, novels, online newspaper articles and other document data into digital audio files with ease. iAUDIO users, therefore, can easily turn their portable MP3 players into a reliable audio book reader device, without paying extra charge.
