Samsung YP-P2 8GB Media Player

Looking for an alternative to Apple's iPod Touch? Samsung may have the answer.

It has dedicated hardware controls for common functions, which is something the Touch lacks: volume controls are sited on the right spine, while the power button and hold switch are on the right, which just add to the usability of the player and mean...

Samsung YP-P2 review

Available in 4GB (£129 inc VAT) and 8GB (£149 inc VAT) flavours, the Samsung YP-P2 features a crisp and colourful 3in widescreen (480-by-272-pixel) display, which makes video viewing a pseudo-cinematic experience. Its abundant EQ settings and audio...

The Samsung YP-P2's wide aspect ratio and superb screen support great viewing, while excellent audio quality and an abundance of equaliser options are major draws for serious sound buffs. It's a somewhat pricey option for anyone seeking a better...

It's hard to look past the iPod Touch when it comes to touch screen media players ' but crane your neck and you might catch a glimpse of Samsung's marvellous YP-P2

Great sound and vision quality. Huge screen.

Smudges galore. Could do with a price cut.

Expert Review

It's a nifty little MP3 player with Bluetooth capability that is suited for anyone who would like a slim and sexy device to listen to their music and watch their movies while on the go. The only problem is that scrolling through files can be a bit...

Incredibly stylish, slim and user friendly; Bluetooth; 3in screen

No AC adapter; media software doesn't see videos on your PC, they must be added manually; scrolling through files on the player can be a little tricky; unintuitive back/forward commands; price

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.
