Samsung YP-P2 Touch Screen Flash Player
Embarking on a new breed of Samsung flash players is the YP-P2. This sleek device uses a touch screen interface with an LCD measuring 3.1 inches, while the 428 x 240 resolution provides a 16:9 standard for viewing video in MPEG-4 and WMV9 formats.
The P2 contains up to 8GB of storage, and features Bluetooth and FM Radio functions. The form measures 3.9 x 2.05 x 0.35-inches, battery lasts 30 hours of audio and 6 hours of video, and weighs 2.8 oz. Presently, details on the P2 are incomplete, but the player will be displayed at IFA in Berlin next month.

Hoping that Sammy bumps it to 16 or 32GB.... gestures, bluetooth.. speakers? I saw the specs list integrated speakers.. if this is true, then the best of both worlds.. ahhhh.. I want one of these....

Looks like they beat iPod to the punch with this one. I was pretty sure after the iPhone came out they'd roll out a iPod with touch screen.
Looks pretty slick too.

I think that if they do advertise it enough they will get a lot of people who want an iPhone to get this. It should be cheaper, lighter and thinner than the iPhone and people wont have to get rid of the cellphones that they got used to and can stay with the company they're with.

I don't get it, you swipe from left to right and it goes "Prev"
And when you swipe right to left and it goes "Next"
What? Isn't that backwards?
somedude on August 17, 2007 2:48 AM
because in korea, they read from right to left. so in theory, they're swiping the proper way. i guess when it's released in UK and NA, it'll be reversed for us.
thehell on August 17, 2007 6:09 PM
we read right to left.......
i think if you swipe and click again ("next" or "prev") it will play the song once again.
thehell on August 17, 2007 6:12 PM
I meant to say.. we read left to right.. actually.
so somedude is wrong

i cant wait until its release.
somedude on August 17, 2007 8:24 PM
meh, can't be right about everything i guess lol!

No they have it right just fine, they are sort of using the "flip page" process of the next and back buttons. When you go to the next "page", you position your finger to the right and flip on to the next one. If you have ever played around with with a touchscreen device like the Iphone or something similar to that, that's how it works. It's actually very natural, and it would not make sense to swipe your finger from left to right to go to the next song, and vice versa to go back. Seeing how this user in the video flicks the screen moderately fast across the screen somehow makes me believe that is the idea that Samsung wants to get across...

oooo i want one :)
i currently have the samsung Z5, run out of room cos its 4GB :(
this tho, its like a skinnier zune, cos less storage its flash
I WANT SO BADLY :'(
loll
perfect for me, movies, 8GB, large touchscreen
sexy as hell
i hope samsung do bump up to 16GB or 32, it would soooo be worth the extra cash!
TonyT61 on August 24, 2007 8:39 PM
I also hope they break into at least the 16 Gb barrier of flash memory as well, as I would want to store much more video content than I ever tried on my 4 gig T9 lol...
froes on August 28, 2007 8:11 AM
With 16GB it would be O.K. and be worth to sell my Sansa E280
Shen on October 2, 2007 1:30 AM
hmmmm,
ill take it ... under the conditions of:
32gb flash only
SDHC compatable
$300 or under
WI-FI
Stero Bluetooth full support (buttons on the bluetooth)
Video (widescreen and vertical support would be nice)
scratch resistance (to a decent degree)
customizablility (menu and such)
i get half of this stuff with zen vision m and the other half (without the bluetooth) is on the Itouch. so it has to have this or else im not gonna bother thinking any more about it.

I bougth the player and Shen, a lot of the features you're looking for aren't on it. There's no built in speaker, the touchscreen is not as intuitive and sensitve as the iPod touch, it doesn't have WiFi, does not (YET) have a customizable GUI, uses proprietary video formats, and maxes out at 8gig. besides, at the price point you're looking at, there aren't many devices that I can think of that have all those features besides (and unfortunately) the touch.
afakirani on December 10, 2007 1:02 PM
About the swiping thing, it is still from left to right to go previous and right to left to go next. when i first tried it it was a little weird getting used too but it's quick learning curve to get over and it's easy to understand why it's done that way. Basically, you're draging the file forward. It's the same way in the ipod touch and has ntohing with the fact that the early versions seen online are from Korea.

Does it have an integrated speaker???
