Q. Trying to decide which to get price is not a matter here
A. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (4inch display $230) and 5.0 (5inch display $270) both have a host of hardware features that the iPod Touch 4g does not have:
- GPS (the real deal, not just WiFi-based. Apps like "CoPilot Live USA" ($10) have offline maps so you can use the Galaxy Player just like dedicated GPS while traveling.)
- FM tuner (great for WiFi dead spots)
- Vibration feedback for UI, alarms, and games
- 3 silent capacitive touch controls on display (settings, home, and back)
- microSD card slot (up to 32GB card + built-in 8GB = 40GB max at any time. Be sure to buy the highest speed class (10 is highest right now) microSD card for snappy read/write speed.)
- LED camera flash (5.0 model only)
- 3.2MP back camera (iPod Touch has 0.7MP back camera)
- 1GHz Hummingbird processor
So, as for hardware features, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 are far ahead of the iPod Touch.
However, the iPod Touch's 3.5inch 960Ã640 display has a higher resolution than the Galaxy Players' 800x480 Super TFT "SuperClear" LCD display. I own a Galaxy Player 4.0 and an iPod Touch 4g. If you bring the screens right up to your eyes, the iPod's display looks better, but if you view them from a normal distance, the Galaxy Players' display has darker black levels, can get much much brighter, and has a wider viewing angle. I prefer the Galaxy Player for normal arm's length viewing.
The Galaxy Players have a plastic back plate and are thicker than the iPod Touch 4g. However, they are surprisingly light for such comparatively large devices. The Galaxy 4.0 is quite pocketable, but I have not personally tried to pocket a Galaxy 5.0.
You can directly connect an iPod Touch 4g via a 3rd party cable to the HDMI, RCA, or component video inputs of a TV. This is known as MHL (Mobile High-Definition Link). The Galaxy Players do not support MHL, so no cable can export video from the device via the microUSB port. However, the Galaxy Players 4.0 and 5.0 do support AllShare (a Samsung customized layer on the DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) industry standard), which allows them to wirelessly transmit audio+video to AllShare/DLNA compatible TVs.

The iPod's major advantage is access to iTunes. For Android devices, one has the Android Market, Samsung App, Amazon App Store, etc. You will probably be able to find the same or an equivalent Android app that you could find on iTunes. However, it's the shopping and dealing with multiple vendor portals (and even in-app purchases for app upgrades) that those used to the ease and comfort of iTunes may find disconcerting. Android portals for apps and content (books, music, video) are getting better every year, but no one Android portal is currently in the same class as Apple's iTunes. That is just something you would have to live with if you go with Android.
I can't speak to the Galaxy Players' durability, etc. because they have only been released in the US since Oct/16/2011. However, in my opinion, they offer superior hardware features (listed above) and, once you get all of your favorite apps and settings lined up, you will likely have a better day to day experience. However, if the notion of shopping around for Android apps you want and not being able to get all of your content in one place doesn't appeal to you, then I would recommend sticking
with Apple's iPod Touch 4g. The iPod Touch's display may be smaller and its hardware features in need of an upgrade (no luck this year), but it is a rock solid device with a the one-stop-shopping iTunes juggernaut at your fingertips.
Good luck, and happy shopping :)

iphone 4s vs samsung galaxy note?
Q. iam due a upgrade in july, I've had the iPhone 3gs for 2 yrs and now its almost time for me to get a new phone? what phone should i get the iPhone 4s or Samsung galaxy note? they both look awesome?
A. The Samsung Galaxy for SURE. The Samsung galaxy is so big you can almost fit all the latest high end software. The note has specs bulit for entertainment like for watching movies and listening to music. What's the point of a small 3.5" display. The iphone is just way too basic. It's A5 chip can't even handle widgets! At least the note can have an app to check the weather and stuff before even entering the web. Plus the iOS rentia display is nothing compared to a super amoled display which is the same quality as an LCD tv. Even though there both dual core the Samsung is just faster. Not to mention the battery life on iphones suck. The Samsung note battery is 2,500mAh. Regular phones have under 1,950mAh. The Samsung just beats the iPhone is specs for sure
