No portrait mode though, is there?
This is the first MIPS device I've seen to support this, though. The Vadem/MainStreet Clio C-1050 supported all four orientations, but only via soft reset. It'd be cool if someone could write another display rotation app
(either C++ or .NET-based
) that does this, though, so you don't have to close it to get the app's interface out of the way. Kai's four display rotation applets in WeekPlanner don't fully work - they rotate the touchscreen orientation but only start to redraw the display that way without completing the redraw.
BTW, I noticed that plugging in something into the headphone jack does disable the internal speaker while in the core CE interface - it just doesn't when in the Cowon UI. I guess this is so that you can plug something in to the jack to use as an antenna when you still want to use the internal speakers to hear it from a distance. Kinda defeats the purpose of a headset, though.
Cowon claims that its battery supports 9 hours of video - and 14 hours of audio - on a single charge. My experience using it thus far seems to support those numbers. Cowon also claims that it can remain in sleep mode for up to 300 hours
(12 1/2 days
) on a single charge. I haven't tested that, though, since it retains everything on reboot and boots pretty quickly
(about 12 seconds
).
