Oh come now, Leporello... are you telling me you wouldn't want to spank those white-hot chrome curves with your unforgiving palm until the miniUSB port is quivering like a leveret's septum?
Sir/Madam, I question the colour of your blood and your kitchen.

I don't think we'll see the S9 for while yet. As far as I'm aware, there have been no other pictures of it apart from the "concept" pic that's at the top of this thread; certainly nothing resembling a genuine photo of real unit. This makes me think it's either proving more difficult to develop than originally thought, or it may even fizzle into a vapourware memory 
No, it's definitely near release, at least in Korea:

Thought that was gonna be for the S9, you got me all excited
Korean site mate, there's tonnes of pics of the S9. They're not on the Japan or US sites, you need to go to cowonglobal.com and click Korea in the top right to see them.

Like I said, there's pictures of everything now. GUI, unit itself including the tactile buttons, etc. Just go to the Korean Cowon site.

I feel I have to eat my earlier words a little, in that the UI seems to be more cohesive and user-friendly than previous Cowons. Obviously the increased screen area/resolution helps with this, but still, they appear to have made an effort.
Still too many small clickable areas for it to be considered perfect, mind. Not everyone in the western world has the tiny digits required for some of the more precision-demanding UI paradigms.
Looking promising, though, yeah

Do want...buuut I have an iRiver Clix2 now. I gave away my useless touch for that and prefer smaller devices now. Liking the better UI that Cowon have there though. Couldn't stand the one on my old D2.
If you have big fat sausage mashers like I do then it looks like it might get a bit fiddly selecting those small text links etc
It does look really good though
