With the excitement over the news that, come the Summer, the iPod touch 2G would have its A2DP Bluetooth unlocked, it seemed many had forgotten that there are already a fair few PMPs with the ability to hook up with your cordless headphones. The Samsung YP-P3 is one such device, a capacitive touchscreen PMP with Bluetooth, up to 16GB of onboard storage and DivX/Xvid playback. Everything USB took a look to see if Samsung have beat Apple to the punch.
Samsung has announced the slimmest LED-backlit HDTVs to date, in their new Luxia LED TV range. Available in sizes from 40 to 55-inch, the HDTVs all have a unified UI across all of Samsung’s consumer electronics ranges, whether from digital cameras or home cinema systems, to the new full-touchscreen PMPs such as the Samsung P3 PMP. Three series will be available, the 6000, 7000 and 8000.
Recently we have seen plenty of leaked pictures, FCC reports and even an unboxing video of the Samsung Yepp YP-P3 PMP. Now Korea is finally getting it just before CES 2009. There are no surprises as far as technical specifications go; you will be getting the same great personal music player (PMP) with Bluetooth 2.1 support.
We’ve been hearing bits and pieces of information about the Samsung YP-P3 PMP for a while now, but this seems to be the first time real life, in the flesh, images have been leaked out. And it certainly does look interesting, folks.
The latest version of Samsung’s media player has added a bunch of new features including haptic feedback. This touchscreen PMP appears to be equipped with new widgets, and other features such as Bluetooth 2.0, a microphone, a mono speaker, an FM tuner and more.
According to Generation MP3, there will be several different versions of the YP-P3, including a 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and a 32GB version. An all aluminum casing is sure to draw attention as well. Unfortunately, we don’t have any information on when this device will become available or how much it will cost, but it is likely an official announcement will come at CES in January.
