Samsung YP-R1 Portable Media Player
October 10, 2009 | Computer, Electronics, MP3 Player, Samsung | 3 CommentsThe style is decidedly minimalist, with the only hardware buttons Controls for power and volume. Everything else checks come through the touch screen interface which is simple and very responsive. Codec support is impressive, with MP3, WMA, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, WAV and ASF all present for audio. Video support is even more impressive with DivX, XviD, MPEG4, WMV, H.264, ASF RMVB and everything on the menu. This means that you should not waste your time to convert all your videos to make them work, because you have power over many others.

Samsung quotes 35-hours of battery life when listening to music, which means you’d be able to fly to Australia and still have enough juice for a long taxi ride to the other end. If you prefer to watch the video, you will get a value of five hours. With 8GB of integrated storage, you’ll be able to squeeze a good selection of songs with a few music videos and maybe one or two episodes of your favorite TV series.
There’s also Bluetooth 2.0, so you can listen your music wirelessly to a suitably equipped speaker, or even a car stereo. Making the most of the Bluetooth functionality SamsungConnect grouping is also a Linx B-TUBE speaker wireless with the YP-R1, in case you do not want to plug headphones in. [via trustedreviews]
