Apple iPod touch is largely smaller than its Samsung competitor. The Apple product rocks the dimensions of 110 x 58 x 7.1 mm and a weight of just 101 grams. On contrast, Galaxy Player 5.0 has the dimensions of 141.3 x 78.2 x 11.9 mm and it weighs at a hefty 182 grams.

On the other hand, iPod touch has the same 3.5-inch display of iPhone.

Software
Galaxy Player 5.0 is to play on Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It is when Apple has just updated iPod touch with iOS 5, the game changing version of the software. Of course, iOS 5 has more stunning features than Gingerbread. In fact, Androidâs reply to iOS 5 is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, not Gingerbread.

How to put music on a Samsung galaxy player 5.0?
Q. I need some help. CanI put firewire songs on it because the woman at best buy said I could I just don't know how, so can some one tell me.. But if not how do I get music on it without connecting it to a credit card. When I pug it into my computer at thing pops up where I can choose what I want to do ( I have a windows inspiron ) what do I choose.. And then hour do I use it.. I need all the help I can get. Please and thankyou !
A. The player itself has only 8GB of RAM on it. I would highly recommend using a microSD card, either 16GB or 32GB.
If your music is saved in the "My Music" folder, it's very easy to add music to your player.
1. Insert the microSD card into the SD card adapter that comes with it (if you bought one with an adapter). Insert the SD adapter into a card reader connected to your computer.
2. Open up the "My Music" folder. Minimize that window.
3. Double-click on "My Computer" ("Computer" if you are using Windows 7). Look for a drive that may say "SD" or "microSD" on it, with a drive letter (may be drive "F" or "G"). Open that up.
4. Maximize the "My Music" folder window. Hold down the "CTRL" key and press "A". All files in the "My Music" folder should now be highlighted.
5. While still holding down the "CTRL" key, press "C".
6. Maximize the window for the microSD card.
7. Hold down "CTRL" and press the "V" key, to paste the files. This may take a few minutes. My music collection took about 30 minutes to copy to the microSD.
8. If you have playlists programmed, there should be a folder titled, "Playlists". Allow this folder to be copied.
9. After all of the files have been copied to the microSD, remove the card from the computer and adapter.
10. Insert the card into the microSD slot, found in the top of your Samsung Galaxy Player.
11. Turn the player on and unlock the screen. A message will appear at the top of the screen, indicating it is trying to read the card. This may take a couple of minutes.
12. Once it has finished reading the card, press the "Music" icon at the bottom of the screen. All of the songs will be listed, usually in order by name. Press the "Playlist" tab and all of your playlists should be there. You can also sort by artist or album by clicking on their respective tabs at the top of the screen.
