Cowon T5
The Cowon T5, released in Korea in December, 2012, is a hybrid between the A5 Plenue and the R7—sharing its form factor and internals with the former, but running Windows CE like the latter. Like Cowon's other study-centric offerings, the T5 comes pre-loaded with a number of learning tools for Korean students.
