iPod touch 4. Or samsung galaxy player 5.0?

Q. My daughter wants either one of these products but she can't decide, she loves to be on YouTube and the Internet and she wants to put music and videos. Does the samsung galaxy player have an app store like the iPod touch does? In the samsung galaxy player is there free apps? What kind of apps does it have? In general which is better?
She can only get free games and she likes fruit ninja angry birds and stuff like that. Does the samsung galaxy player have a Netflix and Facebook app? And can either one of these products access zwinky.com?

A. Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0
Angry birds is free for androids. Not sure about fruit ninja.
Everyone is saying the iPods are great at playing music and video. Same does Samsung Galaxy player.
Androids are also smooth, fast, customizable, and reliable like iOS.
In terms of apps, all the popular apps for iPods are also on Android.Yes, Android has an Android Market like the App Store for iPods. And yes, there are free apps like iTunes. Yes, there is a Facebook and Netflix app.
Zwinky uses flash. iPods and iPhones do not have flash player. Samsung Galaxy has built in flash, so it should be able to go to zwinky.com. However, I do not know how well it will run because I don't go on zwinky.com. But because iPods do not have flash, iPods are completely out of the question if it can go to Zwinky.
iPods cannot play flash; therefore, it is limited to websites that do not have flash. So Android wins in compatibility.
Samsung Galaxy Player in the long run is cheaper because you can get a microSD card and it is cheaper than getting the 64Gb iPod. Because she likes to be on youtube and internet, a larger screen would be nice.

So Samsung Galaxy seems like the best for your daughter! :)

Original Question

Samsung galaxy s3 or samsung galaxy player 5.0?
Q. Ok so i want to know which device screen is bigger because i need finger space and i also like big devices i always wanted to know which one is bigger please answer thanks.

A. First of all I guess that you know that Galaxy S3 is a Smartphone and Galaxy Player 5.0 is just a Touchscreen music player like an iPod Touch. You should decide what device you want, A Phone or a Music Player.

Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4.8 inch Display (Super AMOLED)
Galaxy Player 5.0 - 5.0 inch Display (WVGA LCD)

Galaxy Player 5.0 has bigger screen but it hardly makes a difference since S3 is 4.8 inches, there is merely 0.2 inch difference which not much noticeable.

Performance wise S3 is the Best, but price wise if you can't afford Rs 30,000 S3 then Galaxy Player 5.0 is not bad. If you can afford S3 then just go for it. There is plenty of finger space because of its 4.8'' display. Since it has a Super AMOLED Display, Colors stand out much better than the Galaxy Player.

S3 is my Answer...

Original Question

Should I get an Ipod Touch or the New Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0?
Q. The galaxy player comes out on October 14 2011

A. If you want the latest technology, you should get the Samsung Galaxy Player.

The Samsung Galaxy Player is based on the popular Samsung Galaxy S cell phone minus the 3/4g transceiver just like the iPod Touch is (mostly) based on the iPhone minus the 3/4g transceiver.

I own and love my iPod Touch 4th Gen. However, Apple's recent announcement that the new iPod Touch will simply be cheaper ($199.99 from Amazon), will get IOS 5 to support text messaging and iCloud services, and will come in (wait for it) "white" was a little disappointing. I think that Apple is holding back the iPod Touch development because, if this WiFi-only device were to do everything an iPhone does (minus the 3/4g transceiver), people in WiFi-dense areas may choose not to buy an iPhone + phone data contract. Admittedly, that is a conspiracy theory, but the fact remains that the new iPod Touch did NOT get hardware upgrades to bring it closer to the iPhone 4's capabilities.

The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 (priced at $229.99 to compete with the iPod Touch's original price) and 5.0 (priced at $269.99) each have 8GB of internal memory like the stock iPod Touch. Both have front and back cameras (the 5.0 also has an LED flash for the camera). The iPod Touch's screen has higher resolution, but is smaller than the 4" and 5" Galaxy Players, so that is a tradeoff.

Most importantly, both Galaxy Players bring several features to the table that iPod Touch does not (and may never have):

1. GPS (Can be used with pre-cached offline maps)

2. FM Radio (Wi-Fi isn't everywhere, so the radio option is nice. Good enough for the iPod Nano, apparently, but not the iPod Touch.)

3. Expandable Memory (up to 32GB microSD/microSDHC cards are supported for a potential total of 8GB(stock)+32GB(card)=40GB max. You don't have to buy a completely new device to get more memory. Imagine that... Note that you want to buy a memory card with the highest speed class you can afford for snappy access to your stored media)

4. Three Capacitive Touch Navigation Buttons ( Maybe I just want to go "back", not "home", so 3 buttons are nice. The new iPod Touch was rumored to be getting a capacitive touch home button, but that didn't happen. )

5. Vibration Mode (Can be used for silent alarms, game, or button navigation feedback)

6. Cell Phone-like Ear Speaker (This sweet feature, along with the built-in mic, lets you use your Galaxy Player as a true WiFi-only VOIP phone solution.)

7. Bluetooth 3.0 (Supports wireless data transfer)

8. Replaceable Battery (One day, my iPod Touch's sealed battery will die. At that point, I will either have to buy a new device or pay Apple $70+shipping to replace it for me. If you like to keep electronics until they break or plan on handing down your old electronics to one of your kids, then the iPod's built-in death date is not for you. Also, you could carry an extra battery, although a USB-based power pack is a more generic solution for any USB-charged device you may have)

Some software perks:

1. Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) (This is the latest Android operating system used by Samsung's Galaxy S cell phone, so it supports everything you expect from a modern smart phone. This would not have been true for Samsung's previous media player offerings, so the Galaxy Players cannot in fairness be compared to Samsung's pre-Android PMP offerings.)

2. Adobe Flash 10.1 support (HTML 5, favored by Apple is great, but is by no means universal yet. A staggering number of sites continue to exclusively use Adobe Flash for streaming embedded audio/video and for web-based gaming. Apple's mobile devices are unusable for those sites.)

3. Supported File Formats (Bottom line, the SGP will natively play just about any audio/video format you throw at it. The iPod Touch is more picky, so you may have to convert file formats if you stray into exotic/open source audio/video codecs. If you just use mp3 or wav audio and mp4 video files, then this won't be important to you.)

4. AllShare (Galaxy Players can transmit video+audio to AllShare-enabled Samsung TVs. A niche thing, but pretty cool.)

SUMMARY:

Bottom line, Apple blinked with the new iPod Touch. The Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and 5.0 outmatch the iPod Touch 4th Gen's hardware-based features in every respect except for the screen resolution. The iPod Touch 4th Gen's 3.5in diag 960Ã640 "Retina" LCD resolution is better than Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0's 4in diag 800x480 "Super-TFT" LCD and 5.0's 5in diag 800x480 TFT LCD displays. However, that win doesn't make up for the iPod Touch's now inferior specs when compared with those of the the Samsung Galaxy Players. The future iPod Touch may catch up next year, but, for non-time travelers, the Galaxy Players will be here in about a week.
