DigitalTrends Reviews Samsung YP-T9 4GB
Posted by Suhit Gupta in "ARTICLE" @ 10:00 AM
"The nano is dead; long live the nano. The Samsung YP-T9 is everything the iconic Apple MP3 player is, plus much, much more. In fact, we would go so far as to say that unless you are married to a library full of music from iTunes, there is no reason to consider a nano if the T9 is any indication of where Windows Media Player compatible devices are headed. The T9 is Samsung’s latest nano competitor, and as such sports impressively small dimensions – approximately 1.5”x3”x.5”. Clocking in at smaller than the nano, the T9 is available in capacities from 2GB up to 8GB. But size isn’t everything - or so they say. The T9 supports video playback, picture slideshows, text file reading, music playback, and even comes with a couple, albeit poor, games. Additionally, the T9 sports voice recording, an FM tuner (with support for recording), and a file browser application. Aside from Zune-like WiFi capabilities and an FM transmitter, we can’t think of anything else you could put in a media player close to this size!"
Wow, that is an awful lot of praise for a tiny little player. :) Other than the slightly sluggish startup and shutdown times, it is prises all around for this player. Definitely check out the photos comparing the T9 to AAA batteries to give you an idea of scale.
