Samsung Samsung YP-P2

Samsung's YP-P2 multimedia player is the Whopper Jr. to the Apple iPod Touch's Whopper. The YP-P2 looks like a slightly smaller and skinnier version of Apple's flagship MP3 player; and like the Touch, it provides a touch screen for navigation.

Sharp and cinematic 16:9 screen ; Several customizable sound settings

Touch screen smudges easily

Equipped with Bluetooth and a 3-inch touch screen, the YP-P2 shines at video and top-notch, tweakable sound.

Samsung YP-P2 review: Samsung YP-P2

Samsung YP-P2

The Samsung P2 offers fantastic audio quality and a large, brilliant touch screen. The interface is fun and customizable, and the player is packed with features including video playback, a great FM radio, support for subscription music and Datacasts,...

The touch screen of the Samsung P2 is not always precise, and the lack of tactile controls may not appeal to all users. There's no memory expansion option, and it's pricey.

The Samsung YP-P2 is an excellent-sounding MP3 player that will appeal to those looking for a cool touch-screen interface and stereo Bluetooth capability.

How to Buy a Flash

When Samsung's P2 was announced a few months back, there was plenty of buzz over this thin, touch-screen-based player with Bluetooth 2.0 capabilities. Anyone who craved an iPhone sans phone wanted to check it out. In the interim, the iPod touch was...

Thin, slick design. High-resolution, 3-inch touch screen. Intuitive interface. Seven-band EQ. FM radio

Capacity tops out at 8GB. Full Bluetooth functionality not currently available. FM recorder not yet activated. Average file support ; Watch the Samsung P2 Video Review

The P2 has a beautiful 3-inch touch screen and an excellent interface, but until its Bluetooth capability is fully activated, the player's most alluring feature is missing.

Samsung YP-P2 MP3 Player

Keeping up with our recent fascination with touchscreen devices, the Samsung YP-P2 gets rid of most of its physical controls in favor of a user interface that relies almost exclusively on its large touchscreen display. While it may not necessarily be...

Very attractive-looking device with solid construction ; Good audio quality ; Widescreen display ; Both folder and ID3-based browsing ; Bluetooth mobile phone support

Touchscreen is not perfectly responsive (big one) ; Hold slider needs redesign or repositioning ; User interface isn't intuitive enough ; Video support could be better

The Samsung YP-P2 is a nice portable media player. It looks the part, plays relatively high quality audio, and widescreen videos are always nice. The added Bluetooth functionality is a bonus, especially with the ability to pair it with a mobile phone...

Samsung P2 TouchScreen Media Player

In the world of MP3 players, there isn't a whole lot that hasn't been done, and these days every new MP3 player on the market really doesn't have any new "never-been-done" features, most are just the same features in a different package, well Samsung...

Slick Touch-screen interface ; Very attractive glossy finish on entire unit ; Buttons as well as touch interface for important functions ; Bluetooth headphone and file transfer capability ; Nice size/cost ratio

Glossy Finish requires constant cleaning to look nice

In a world where their hasn't been any real ground breaking media players for a couple of years, the Samsung P2 shows a lot of evolutionary improvements when it comes to aesthetics, functionality and performance. This little 8GB unit is priced very...

Even though Apple has a stranglehold on the MP3 player market we are still seeing some really good devices coming out from the other players in the industry. While no one is expecting to topple Apple's position any time soon, flash memory is cheap and...
