Samsung YP-U1 Shuffle Up and Deal

Samsung

By: Grahm Skee on August 3, 2005 9:45 PM

Slightly larger than the iPod Shuffle with a built in retractable USB plug, the player comes in 512MB and 1GB Sizes AND it has a screen! Engadget found this one announced only on the official German Samsung website, so we don’t know if this will ever be release in the United States. Judging by the latest batch of Samsung flash players this one will operate as a universal mass storage device without drivers. I think this would be very nice for students to carry their tunes and term papers all over campus.

Update: Engadget had a chance to check this thing out first hand at a Samsung event. Samsung made it clear that is was thier answer to the Shuffle. The player indeed be selling 512MB and 1GB versions in the States for $100 and $150 respectively. No word on release date.

I have this player and it is amazing. the only downside is 13 hrs play back. but I assume no one going to listen 13 hrs of music in a day.

Also, it charges while it's plugged in computer, chaning songs, or taking out files.. so never runs out of battery.

Samsung P2

The Samsung P2 has been gaining quite a following lately and rightfully so. If you are looking for something well designed, innovative, and feature packed; you should look into this full touch screen wonder. The Bluetooth feature set is what I find to be the most intriguing, with the ability to tether to your phone to make calls or wirelessly transfer with no restrictions to other P2s. Check out the review or stop by our ever growing P2 forums to get the latest info.
Toshiba Gigabeat T400

The Gigabeat T400 is without a doubt my favorite flash player at the moment. It does have one major setback in that it only comes in a 4GB, shame on you Toshiba. What makes me love this player is it's ultra slick sexy design, very easy- just pick up and use interface, and killer sound quality that would make Cowon users envious. This player is a must buy for anyone who sports a premium set of headphones. Full review to come but you should really just buy one.
SanDisk Sansa Clip

The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.
Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.
JAYS q-JAYS

The q-JAYS are great in ear phones. They offer excellent clarity, silky treble, realistic midrange, and a nice bass response. They're comfortable, incredibly tiny, and come with a huge selection of accessories. While they certainly are analytic phones, they're still fun to listen to. The q-JAYS respond well to EQing, and can be tweaked to fit almost anyone's sound preference. Recommended for anyone owning a good sounding player and well encoded audio files. Check out our review.
