Samsung P2 is NOT the iPod, Gasp!

$250 for 8GB? I recently purchased my first mp3 player, and based my purchase $$/GB. I ended up buying the Zune 80GB for $250. I really, really like it so far, but admit that the s/w borders on lame. I guess that's what hacks are for....

Nice, nice, nice. Now give it a fast, stable O.S. and phone features and I will buy it.

It's a great little player, but be advised that loading videos onto it is only possible under Windows XP or Vista. Although it says on the box that it plays WMV videos, it'll only play its own proprietary format, which can only be added to it through Samsung's proprietary software.

Other than that, using this PMP is a breeze.

Also, Samsung tech support sucks. Who doesn't know the difference between WMA and WMV? Or the difference between Mac OSX and Microsoft Windows???

It's very pleasing to the eye and a 3" screen? Amazing!, but can it's gorgeous looks be deceiving?

Now i'm not a fan of no buttons but this is a pretty gizmo. I looked at this player when I was deciding which PMP to purchase, great lines and cool features but I ultimately decided on the Zune (also not an iPod! Madness). Couldn't be happier.

there is no DVD-like quality on any 3" screen PMP players, stop make these ridiculous statements.

Other Mp3 players other than the Ipod? Surely you jest?

I've owned an iRiver T10, and two iPod's. I just bout the YP-P2 and it blows them all away. Of course, the biggest and most understated feature is the Stereo Bluetooth. the P2s are the best DAPs around right now IMO, bar none. Too bad they have poor marketing.
