Like an increasing number of portable media players, Samsung's P3 has a touchscreen. It doesn't feel nearly as sensitive as Apple's iPod Touch's screen, though, and scrolling through long lists can be quite frustrating. It has haptic feedback, so i...

After a little over a year as the standard bearer for Samsungs PMP range, its time for the YP-P2, aka the Yepp P2, to retire. But is its replacement - the YP-P3 – an evolution or a revolution? And has it got what it takes to lure buyers away from the...
Imagine a Samsung P2 with the GUI from the Omnia phone and better codec support, and you have the P3. Thats not really a massive leap forward, though, and while the UI looks better than the P2s, it suffers from many of the same basic problems in use...

Samsung's touchscreen beauty lacks many iPod touch features and can't match the S-series Walkmans for value or sound quality. But as a slick, pocket-sized player for audio, video and stills, it takes some beating. Samsung's best PMP yet!...

Samsungs P3 is a touch-screen player with an icon-based menu. Sound familiar? At $149.99 (8GB), $249.99 (16GB), and $299.99 (32GB), Samsung is clearly taking aim at the more-expensive iPod touch. The preloaded software, excellent FM tuner, and hapt...
Supports many audio file types. Bright, high-res touch display. FM radio with 30 presets. Records FM, voice. Loaded with games and useful widgets. Haptic feedback is fun.
No Wi-Fi connectivity. Touch screen isnt sensitive enough. User interface isnt always intuitive. Weak video codec support. No accelerometer.
Samsungs P3 is a good-looking media player thats loaded with widgets, but its a bit cumbersome to navigate and is missing a key feature: Internet access...

Unfortunately, the Samsung YP-P3 doesn\'t see much of an update from the YP-P2. The body is now die-cast metal, but the basic form remains the same. There is a touch sensitive slab beneath the screen set aside for gestures to control media playback, which is a nice touch, but not revolutionary...
