Samsung YP-P2 available at Amazon

I thought I’d take a peek at the Samsung YP-P2, their latest offering in the touch screen media player arena. This little sucker is already available for pre-order over at Amazon. Here are some specs for you to inwardly digest

* 8 GB flash memory
* Bluetooth connectivity for speakers and headphones
* Widescreen 3 inch 428 x 240 res display
* 30 hours of tunes or 5 hours of vid from a fully charged battery
* FM radio
* Touch screen functionality
* Weight 2.8 oz

Sounds good? Well at US$250 it does sound like a bargain. But lets see how it stacks up against other well known models in the PMP market.

For an extra $50 you can grab an 8 GB iPod Touch which has a larger screen at 3.5 inches with 480 x 320 res but does weigh more at 4.2 oz. The iPod also only boasts a mere 22 hours of audio with a full battery but it does support Wi-fi connectivity.

The 8 GB iRiver X20 is floating around for $330 and of course has a microSD slot to increase its capacity so it may be a bit unfair to line it up against the others but here goes anyway! Its screen is a bit on the small size at 2.2 inches and is only slightly lighter than the Samsung at 2.5 oz so an extra $80 seems a bit much to pay for expandability.

So the Samsung doesn’t look too bad compared to the Apple and iRiver offerings, what do you think, or even better if there are any users of any of these models feel free to drop me a line with your thoughts!
