Cowon Launches Z2 Plenue PMP, Starts At Rs 18,500 For 8 GB

Do you get annoyed when your listening or gaming sessions on your Android phone are interrupted by incoming phone calls? Cowon's Z2 Plenue PMP is just what the doc prescribes for this specific need. This Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread)-based portable device bears a 3.7" AMOLED panel sporting pixel dimensions of 800x480. The Plenue is powered by a last-generation 1 GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor and a 320 MHz Mali GPU, so don't expect to play the latest 3D mobile games with fluid framerates.

However, thanks to its 800 MHz VPU (Video Processing Unit), Cowon claims that it can handle 1080p video content and can also output it to your big-screen TV through an HDMI port.
