I wanted a Cowan for a long time, but just couldn't bring myself to buy a
unit that doesn't have bluetooth support.

Earlier in the month I found out that the house brand PMP at Best Buy has
ogg vorbis and bluetooth support. An Insignia car stereo I bought last
year also has ogg vorbis support, but the new model doesn't seem to :(.

Here's a short review I wrote of the Insignia Pilot:

I have been able to get it to charge without turning off. It sometimes has
communication problems with the bluetooth headset, so stuff stutters a
bit :(.

Still haven't finished building an antenna for listening to the radio. I
did find a headphone to composite adapter with about 5" of wire that
works fairly well. Tonight it didn't work, though.

ciao,
