Digital Home Thoughts: Samsung's Satisfying Multi-format Player

"The Samsung YP-P3 is actually a knockout of a portable media player. True, it may not have the WiFi or custom application support going for it, but the native video codec support and numerous music playback abilities knock the socks off of an iFruit. What's more, the 3rd iteration of the Digital Natural Sound Engine (DNSe) sounds absolutely incredible! The integrated Bluetooth has great potential, but for now is limited by an inadequate bitrate for stereo playback and lack of certian handsfree abilities like voice dialing. I'd also like to see better support for FLAC and AAC when it comes to reading ID3 tags, but at least the codecs are there. Highly recommended for music and movie afficionados alike."

The broad format support is a definite plus for Samsung's offering. I really hate having to convert my videos to different formats for different portable devices. I'm also intrigued by the haptic feedback offering which I hope to see on more touchscreen offerings in the future.
