A. This device is just a Ipod touch running android 2.3, that said if you have a WIFI connection and the right apps like skype you can call, text and IM on this device.
BUT once you loose your WIFI signal (leave the house/apartment) those capabilities are lost until you jump on another wifi network.
Help with Samsung Android MP3 Player?
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:
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/tv-audio-video/mp3-digital-audio/mobile-internet-players/YP-G1CW/XEU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail
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.
Looking for an MP3 player like the Ipod touch?
Q. Looking to find out if anyone knows of an MP3 with touch screen that's like the IPOD touch. The reason I don't just buy a Touch is the fact that I don't like that being able to upload music strait from my computer. having to use Itune and buy music from them is annoying. I bought all the music i have and just an MP3 player
A. I would suggest you buying Samsung Galaxy 5.0 Android MP3 Player
- Fast web browsing and navigation
- Good quality ear-buds
- Excellent screen size and good quality of image
- Good internal stereo speakers
- Ok microphone to record, but excellent for video chatting
- Useful notification bar (e-mail, updates, facebook, etc)
- MicroSD card slot, GPS, FM-radio
- Diverse and still expanding android market (app store)
