Samsung P3 32GB, silver

Touch-screen MP3 players and PVPs are all the rage, and it's no wonder: the migration of controls to the display of a device makes it possible to dedicate most of a player's surface area to the screen. Thus, larger screens on smaller gadgets. Surely,...

The Samsung P3 offers a sleek and sturdy design with a gorgeous full-color touch screen and fun interface; it includes a boatload of features such as Bluetooth connectivity, widgets, an FM radio, and voice recording; there is support for a wide variety...

The Samsung P3's interface may take some getting used to; there's no Wi-Fi, and podcast support is inelegant.

The Samsung P3 is an excellent multimedia device that packs a grand amount of features into an impressively compact package with one of the best screens available. Plus, it sounds superb, making this a top contender for audio enthusiasts.

Samsung P3

The P3 media player has a touch screen and a sleek design, but no way to connect to the Internet.

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 isn't sensitive enough. User interface isn't always intuitive. Weak video codec support. No accelerometer.

Samsung P3 Widescreen Portable Multimedia Player Review

Solid video/music/photo compatibility and performance, Outstanding Bluetooth connectivity, with no firmware update needed, Incredible complement of both fun and practical "Widgets" (applications)

Controls and certain features can be a challenge to figure out, Paid music subscriptions not supported, a few minor file transfer glitches

Packing a lot into a little space is always a noble quest for a manufacturer, but one that can lead to double-duty controls and secret handshakes to access it all. The touch interface and even the few hard buttons are not always as intuitive as I'd...

Samsung P3 Media Player

Samsung has made many products over the years, and they seem to stretch back into the early dawn of man. Okay, maybe not quite that long, but let's say somewhere in the 20th century they've made things from computers to phones, mp3 players you name it...

Samsung YP-P3 MP3 Player

The Samsung YP-P3 is the successor last year's P2 and it does not disappointed. Everything from the body to the software of the YP-P3 has improved and it'll be good competition against Apple iTouch. How Samsung improves on this design will be exciting.
