You know, it's not bothering me. If I'm going to use "shuffle" I just go to the song menu and press play, and if I skip a song or two in the beginning, so be it. If I'm searching out something specific, I just use the file browser, since that generally means I'm in the mood for an entire album.

I do know what you mean though.....the alphabet search is a sweet option on the Mozaic. The touch pad simply means the Q2 stays home, where it's not a hassle to pause it or skip tracks.....the Clip remains my primary on-the-go option, with the Mozaic checking in as the workplace and workout beater.

ZOMG, another one? I can't keep up, I seriously can't... if it has drag n drop video like the P3, sounds sweet... micro SD cards also definitely gain my support!

[DarkPotato]

hmm.... i could rly take this into consideration..... but if would get a non-touch screen player, I would get the Sony walkmans...

no gapless no deal. There is plenty of other alternatives. Why consider this one?

Integrated card (unlike the zen)
fairly long battery life (longer than zen or fuze)
expandable memory(unlike than i7, s series)
and its a fairly pretty little player, with a well sized screen, and people seem pretty content with the samsung UI

I'm not sure I could be bothered with SD or microSD cards. Why not just make bigger devices?

[a_tumiwa]

because bigger devices cost a lot?

nice!!, so when the new forum R0 is appear??

[lebellium]

When there are more posts and threads about it?

[gebal]

tactile controls
And the size comparison with the R1 and P3 was a good help, especially as the new S series has the same footprint as the P3.

finally a touch-hater can happy , its already been song long time since.... (actually since when??? i forget >_<)

[gebal]

lebellium, do you know of a european release date yet? depending on how much money I can get together, I'm either going to get this or an X, so would be interested in knowing if I can pick it up before I go away at the end of october

[lebellium]

Hmmm you have to know that the R0 has nothing to do with the X1060 lol
The equivalent is rather the P3 or Cowon S9.
The R0 should be released in October in Europe. I don't have an accurate date for the moment.

[gebal]

X1060 is if I can find an extra £50
Otherwise, its this with a micro SD for videos

Wow Samungs really rolling out the mediocre players now eh...

Hopefully its just filler for their next big thing...

Samsung R0 has been announced on Samsung Russian website

I remind you that here is my photo preview with the Sample:

I'll give you in some days a new feedback with the final firmware v.1.03.
Upgrading failed on my sample but should work again with a recovery

[lebellium]

I just managed to upgrade in 1.03!
And I guess...I love this mp3 player! Probably the best since the P3

[electron]

really? wow, what do you like about it so much?

[lebellium]

Simple and clear interface (no useless widgets everywhere), good finition and above all, it is ergonomics! With tactile control! So it's really a pleasure to use it (and not a pain like on the Q2 or CP3)! It's a sensation I forgot with Samsung mp3 players over the last 3 years
You can see my gmp3 video preview. It has been made with the beta firmware. Now with the 1.03 firmware the navigation is very fast!
