Samsung Galaxy Player 50 - android media player
iPod Touch has announced a competing media player from Samsung.
Want to enjoy all the benefits of a Samsung Android device, but don’t want to replace your phone, so you don’t even want to spend extra money on the PDA for the knowledge of making phone calls with it? We have the solution in the person of Samsung Galaxy Player.
Of course, we know that all PDAs were like that a few years ago and that was the big number when MIO in the A701 combined the knowledge of PDAs, PNAs and phones, but that was a long time ago and not even Android was running on it, so now it could be reinvented.
The Samsung Galaxy Player 50, as its name suggests, was given Google’s Android 2.1 operating system and was invented to play media content. Several foreign sites have immediately called it a competitor to the iPod Touch, although Samsung is said to have no plans to sell this PMP in the United States. Looking at the commercial, he knows everything the other members of the Galaxy family go for, Android Market, Layar, Google Maps, the weather forecast, just the GSM part left out. This will need to be replaced with a built-in Wi-Fi radio. You can start the hotspot hunt.
The display of the device is 3,2 inches, but there is no news about its resolution or technology. Watching this relatively small screen will never be as good a video as the Galaxy S’s much larger 4-inch display. DivX support is now standard for movie playback. Just to mention music playback, for which Samsung SoundAlive technology guarantees a high level of sound quality. Unfortunately, there is no Bluetooth radio, so you can probably only listen to your MP3 music or your favorite station on the FM radio through the built-in speaker or wired headset.
The device will come with two sizes of built-in memory, it will be 8 and 16 gigabytes, of course we can expand both with a microSD card. Don't even look for a front camera on the SGP and only a 2 megapixel one came back. Videos recorded with this can be easily shared on TVs that are also capable of DLNA. Don’t forget to mention that GPS was also built into this little media player.
The Samsung Galaxy Player will start selling in France these days, with the 8GB version priced at € 200 and the 16GB version on store shelves at € 250.
