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:

and also check out the ipod touch 4g,the price has probaby dropped.
Samsung Galaxy 5.0 mp3 player?
Q. i just bought one and it came with 5GB memory. It said it had 8GB memory, is this a problem or is it normal, should get it exchanged?
A. Yes, the player does have 8 gigabytes worth of storage but the operating system and all of applications take up quite a bit of memory. You can always delete some applications to save some room but the most memory consuming thing is the Android operating system. You can buy and/or get extra storage online that you can access on your player like Google Drive, which I have myself or you can get a micro SD card from any size range up to 32 gigabytes.
Should I get the ipod touch 5 or Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0?
Q. Well, I know that the newest ipod just came out, and it's supposed to have improved and amazing features. But I'm also considering the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0, because it's supposedly better. Internet, apps, music, youtube, camera, and movies are infinitely important to me Also, is flash not on the ipod? What does this limit me to? Thanks.
A. Dimensions and weight
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.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Display
As its moniker reveals, Galaxy Player 5 features a 5-inch display at a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It is a WVGA TFT LCD that provides better clarity and performance. On the other hand, iPod touch has the same 3.5-inch display of iPhone. As the former Apple CEO Steve Jobs said iPod touch is indeed an âiPhone without contract.â Its display is an aluminosilicate glass-covered LED-backlit LCD with a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels at 326ppi.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
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.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Storage
Galaxy Player 5.0 has only two internal memory options; 8GB and 16GB. Meanwhile, the new generation iPod touch comes with three options; 8GB, 32GB and 64GB. Moreover, iPod touch has iCloud cloud computing integration for additional storage.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Camera
Apple has slotted in a 0.7-inch rear camera on iPod touch. It can record video at 1280 x 720 up to 30 frames/s and audio. A 0.3-inch VGA camera is there in the front panel of the device. Samsung Player 5 sports a 3.2-megapixcel camera in the front. However, the device drops a front facing camera for video calls. In difference, iPod touch with FaceTime application will be a better choice for users.
Winner: Apple iPod touch.
Battery life
Battery life of a portable musical device is highly important. People often want to listen to music for long hours. Here Galaxy Player 5.0 outshines iPod touch with Li-Ion 2500mAh that ensures 60 hours audio playback and 8 hours video playback. Apple iPod touch has a Lithium-ion battery that offers only 40 hours audio playback and 7 hours video playback.
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0.
Winner
The winner of the comparison is visibly clear. Apple iPod touch is far better than its Samsung competitor under several parameters. A music lover, who doesnât obsessively worship Android, may go for iPod touch for better music experience.
The verdict
Samsung has been creating hypes about its Android music player for a while. The device has now realized with lots of features. We have an Android challenger to iPod touch now. Appleâs domination in portable music industry may be hit with Galaxy Player 5.0âs arrival. Of course, a large part of music lovers will go for Galaxy Player 5.0 instead of iPod touch now.
