I saw these at a store 3 weeks ago.. no BS. They only had the black model though.

It looked decent, though nothing terribly exciting. Certainly not enough to convince me to sell me shuffle. Too little, too late, IMO.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/

But actually this would be a great competetor for the iPod shuffle (if people would like for like 2 seconds) becasue it is essentially the same size plus a screen (gasp! a screen! revolutionary!).

But alas, people don't think.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/

#9, what I usually tell people is to get this over the shuffle, unless you really want to go with the ipod family and/or use itunes.

The only gripe that I have with them is the packaging, the only place that says the capacity is in fine print on the back by the sku numbers. The lanyard that it comes with is kinda interesting, but it also doesn't say what it comes with. Overall, I really like it.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/http://www.engadget.com/2005/11/03/samsungs-yp-u1x-and-yp-u1z-now-available-in-the-us/

I can see a screen on this thing (teeeeeny) being EXTREMELY cumbersome to use..

but hey.. what does Samsung care..

Relish the 'aha!' moment when Samsung Shuffle owners realize what Apple was talking about (tortured interfaces)

On the plus side: nice look, nice logo..

If when its NOT in my pocket (where having a display is irrelevant) I care more about audio quality.


#10 Rachel who said "But alas, people don't think".

You're right. Some people pull out the measuring equipment instead:

And as for "not thinking" about the Shuffle: http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000993065244/#c551508

I spent a great deal of time thinking about how I'd actually USE and ENJOY the device. For practicality AND audio quality.

units...so already owning a Ipod Shuffle, I purchased both a Creative
Zen Nano Plus and an IRiver T30. I loaded the same song files into all
three so that the comparison would be valid. I used only the earphones
that came with each unit.
The Ipod is simple as can be to use. Partly good design and partly
fewest features.
The Creative Zen Nano has a decent LCD and a menu system that has a
short learning curve. It is also the only one of the three to have a
built in radio.
The Iriver has the greater learning curve partly because it has more
customizable options.
Both the Creative and the IRiver have line in ability to copy directly
from CDs.
Of course only the Shuffle has a bulit in rechargable battery (not user


replacable) while the other two use AAAs. Of course you can purchase
rechargable AAAs (Rayovac makes ones that take 15 minutes to
recharge!).
Sound quality...My primary concern.
All three have pleasant sound with plenty of volume (too much!).
First of all the Ipod Shuffle has no controls at all to customize the
sound. It does sound very good, however.
The Creative Zen Nano has an equalizer.
The IRiver T30 has both an equalizer and an entire set of other sound
controls from the SRS WOW component.
A fair comparison requires us to set both the Creative and the IRiver
to what I and my son believe to give the best combination of bass and
treble response. Of course that is somewhat subjective. However we both


agreed on the settings.
I know that some 'tests' /reviews say they leave the settings at
'neutral' to be fair...I beg to strongly disagree...after all why
shouldn't the Creative Zen Nano and the IRiver benefit from a
capability that they have built in! Users would surely use those
controls..so they should be evaluated. Each unit producing the best it
can!
Again..all three sound very good.


Treble...The Apple Shuffle Ipod and the IRiver T30 had the best treble.


Clear. The Creative was somewhat muddied in response, but not bad.


Bass...Here the IRiver shone above the others... definitively. The
Creative was second with the Ipod Shuffle not far behind.
I found the following SRS settings to be the 'best' on the IRiver;
SRS...08
Focus..Low
Trubass...10
Boost...60


Overall..the IRiver's sound was definitely the best of the three.

creative muvo n200
or the
samsung one

i was just wondering how the samsung buttons are
i am planning to use it to listern to lecture recording - so specfically how is the fast forward button?
i like the creative n200 fast forward wheel button and its track search function which creative tx doesn;t have

Thanks
