Samsung YP-T7 MP3 Player iPod Shuffle

We just had the hands on the new 512 MB Samsung YP-T7 flash-based MP3 player, which looks fairly solid alternative to the iPod shuffle, especially if you’ve been fixing something with a color LCD screen and an FM tuner. There is much we dig on the YP-T7, but chose the first you will have to reconcile with you about this is the price chosen. The MSRP is $ 149.99, which means it is certainly not the best bargain around when it comes to players flash of 512 MB (there is a 1 GB money you set Fifty of return dollars).

However, much to Theresa as in the YP-T7, a son given A 1.12-inch, 96×96 pixel color LCD screen, aluminum and magnesium casing, support for playback of MP3, WMA, OGG and audio files, PlaysForSure compatibility, Direct-to-direct MP3 and WAV encoding, an FM tuner and a digital voice recorder. Even if it does weigh about 50% more than the iPod shuffle (see table below), the YP-T7 is still incredibly light. You will not even notice while carrying Youre around. The sound quality is excellent, among the best weve heard in a flash drive. GETTINGS songs and JPEG on the player he was a snapyou just plug in a USB 2.0 port and drag and drop files like any ordinary flash drive.

Here is the choice: is it really a point to have a color screen to a player this small? Son clearly on the edge of novelty to be able to view JPEG images on a 1.12-inch LCD (the screen is so small that itll squint to make files on your phone seem almost pleasant), but having a screen color is actually navigation of the user interface easier.

Speaking of the user interface, Samsung will not win scholarships for it, but in general it is intuitive enough (it only took about a minute, an observation fully understand Works), and the mini joystick very simple fact of move. Our complaint was that the selection of a playlist has taken some steps higher than it probably should have.

The FM tuner is not surprising but also not uncommon to get FM reception shit here in Manhattan, so give them a pass on this subject. Battery life has been as expected, or slightly more than ten hours, if we did not spend much time to kill the battery while watching the JPEG images on the screen color (which Mighty boring after about 45 seconds).

So is it buy? Hate to say, but these days $ 150 seems a little steep for a player 512. Not that we did not widen the transporting YP-T7 aroundtheres no doubt that this is one of the best flash players weve checked latelybut a shmancy color LCD screen isnta just enough for a critical function Flash Player, making it difficult to justify the bombings first overtime. If Samsung is serious save over evil and Apple spanking Taiwnese all anonymous and that Chinese manufacturers are stifling their greenhouses, theyre going to have to find commentary to price these things much more aggressive.
