Q. I want the samsung galaxy player 4.0, but there seems to be so many other ones by samsung just like it and they all have very confising names with letters and numbers and different sizes and I can't tell which one to get or where to get it or which on is the cheapest, also, any android mp3 player suggestions? Capacitive touchscreen, 2.3(froyo) or above, front and back camera, sd card slot, wifi, bluetooth, 8gb or more built in. Thanks please help!:)
A. Samsung is marketing this product as the "Samsung Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 and 5.0" in some European, UK, and Asian markets but as the "Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0" in others. In the US, Samsung aborted the launch of a "Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0" in May 2011 after both bestbuy.com and even amazon.com briefly had these products posted as "coming soon" with a price of $239 for the 4.0 model and $269 for the 5.0. The YP-G* model numbers below tend to be more stable than the product names:
Galaxy Player 50 (YP-G50) (NOTE: This is an older model with a < 4" screen)
Galaxy Player 4.0/Galaxy S WiFi 4.0 (YP-G1) (4" screen)
Galaxy Player 5.0/Galaxy S WiFi 5.0 (YP-G70) (5" screen. Also has camera flash)
The following UK sites are a good reference for product specs and you can even download the user manuals if you click on the "support" tab on the upper half of the page:
4" model:

5" model with camera flash:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/mp3-digital-audio/mobile-internet-players/YP-G70CW/XEU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail
It's hard to find, but this samsung.com/us page has a PDF user manual for the 4" model:
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/YP-G1CW/XAA
Also on samsung.com/us is this site with an add for the Galaxy Player at the top of the page, but I'm not sure whether this page is fully supported:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/mp3-players/
Samsung is being sued by Apple http://sammyhub.com/2011/07/06/apple-files-us-itc-complaint-against-samsung/ , so this may be contributing to the US product launch delay. The problem for consumers is that Samsung is not good about communicating with customers regarding product launch details. If this were Apple, Steve Jobs would have been grooming the press releases with a showman's flare, but Samsung does not have an iconic figure to hawk its wares.
Bottom line, the 4" and 5" models' hardware combination (stereo speakers, GPS, phone friendly ear speaker for VOIP apps, much better back camera, vibration feedback for gaming and silent alarms, expandable memory, self-replaceable battery, etc.) trounces the iPod Touch 4th Generation (although the iPod's screen resolution is higher). Sadly, the US market must simply wait for Samsung to get its marketing act together and let us know what is going on with this exciting new line of Android-based personal media players.
Is the Samsung Galaxy player 5.0 any good?
Q. Is it better the the ipod touch? How much music and apps does the Galaxy hold? And is it difficult to use?
A. I have it, and it great, its just like an ipod, but runs on android. It only comes with 8GB but you can add a SD card for more storage, the camera is good, and I like the apps. Also with its large screen its better for watching movies or playing games. No its easy to use, I would recommend this device!
Ipod Touch 5 vs. Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0?
Q. I'm looking for a good xmas present (for myself), and my parents aren't really willing to spend 300 bucks on a new Ipod Touch 5th gen, so my dad recommended the Galaxy Player 5.0. I have been a steady fan of Apple products for a long time, but maybe I'll try something new. Is the Player better than the Touch? (my parents don't want me ruining my eyes on apple's tiny screens) Also, I'm still a bit shaky on whether the android app store is better than the itunes store. I don't want something as big as a tablet, but not something too small either (it has to be portable and not awkward to take out in public). I spend most of my time surfing the web rather than playing games, but I would still like a five-star app collection. How much would the price for a brand new Player be? **Please include a list of pros/cons for each device so I can compare the two more easily.
Oh yeah, I forgot to add:
Music takes up about half of my life, so I'm wondering if the Galaxy Player can support/download mp3 files from a computer/laptop. (I'm not very "technologically savvy", considering my young age.)
And which one is the better deal for its own price?
A. I love the ipod touch 5th generation better because:
1. It has retina display
2.it has 5 megapixel camera with panorama mode
3. 1080 p video recording
4. 170000 apps for the ipod touch only
5. Comes in 5 color: red,blue,yellow,pink, black,silver
6. It has siri! Your personal assistant!
7. The new ipod touch has a bigger display than the previous ipod touch
8. Motion control clumsy ninja,great game! And the black ipod touch looks just like iphone5,and the ipod touch like is a iphone without a simcard.
Where as the samsung galaxy player5 has:
1. 3.2 megapixel camera
2. Android 2.2 or something like that
3.720p video recording
4.I like apple apps games better
ipod touch 5g price: 32GB is 299$
64GB is 399$
samsung galaxy player 5 price:
8GB is 269$ but it can be up to 32GB with microsd card.
I think ipod touch is better and worth the price,but if you want a bigger screen go for ipad mini, the 16GB ipadmini is 329$
yes you can download songs,videos and transfer it to samsung galaxy player. And I suggest take a look at the kindle fire HD(under 300$) and google nexus 7 (199$ for the 16GB or if you by the 32 GB then it will cost 249$) and very good for their price.go to the link:
http://m.cnet.com/news/ipad-mini-vs-google-nexus-7-vs-amazon-kindle-fire-hd/57537541
and also check out the ipod touch 4g,the price has probaby dropped.
