Samsung gets official with YP-P2, YP-S5, YP-T10 DAPs
We already caught sight of Samsung's new touchscreen-equipped Yepp YP-P2 DAP, but it looks like the company has a bit more in store for its Yepp line that just that, with it today officially introducing it along with two other new models. While there's little about the YP-P2 that we didn't already know, Samsung has revealed that it'll also be available in white, although it looks like it and black will be your only two options. As for the two other new players, the YP-S5 and YP-T10 each boast integrated Bluetooth, with the former sporting a built-in speaker and a 1.8-inch 222 x 176 display and the latter boasting a slightly larger 2-inch screen and a promised 30 hours of battery life. Each of those will apparently be available in 2GB, 4GB, and 8GB varieties, with the YP-T10 also set to be available in purple, red, and lime in addition to the standard black and white options. No word on price, but it looks like the whole lot is headed for Europe first.

No expantion, no thanks!
silverblackvoid @ Aug 16th 2007 2:41PM
what exactly do u mean???
riggs @ Aug 16th 2007 2:47PM
Expansion slot would be my first guess.
Mickey Jones @ Aug 16th 2007 5:45PM
I think he looking for an explanation.
chris @ Aug 16th 2007 2:46PM
he means no sd card slot or cf card etc - i think :P

Meaning that unless the player(s) support some form of memory expansion, which has not yet been mentioned (one can only hope), 8GB isn't substantial for a player dedicated for both audio/video playback.
However, I know I know, it's entirely debatable, and I am speaking on behalf of myself only! Gotta' love the designs though... :D

OMG IT's THE NEW iPODS!!
blackburn @ Sep 18th 2007 10:10PM
omg... i still don't get why some americans say is that a ipod?? even though it's not a ipod.. and let me clear this up to js, they are not a new ipod, they are new Yepp. Here is a easier way to remember. Apple's mp3 product is Ipod. There are Shuffle, Nano, and Video. For yepp, it's k3, t-10, p2 you name it. And for those who say it's ugly... don't judge by looking at pic. Try to see it for real and touch it and use 'em . and then judge like test drive for cars.

On checking the link outs from the previous article I came across these images which would appear that red versions of the YP-P2 exist as well - though whether they will be available at retail and are not just special editions for certain folks remains to be seen.

i want the black p2! that would be my dream come true!

Why do these guys leave such a fat margin to the left and right of the LCD? It's already bad enough the phone has a useless resolution (not good enough for video or web browsing, and too much for seeing a song title/menu). Do they need it to hold the side of the LCD? I don't think so, the iPhone doesnt seem to need a fat margin.
Matt @ Aug 18th 2007 6:50PM
Hey Genius, they aren't phones! Read the first sentence of the article "We already caught sight of Samsung's new touchscreen-equipped Yepp YP-P2 DAP". So i don't think you'll be doing much web browsing on them :)... And which one are you referring to as having a useless resolution, not good enough for video? Because the only one that i would consider a video player is the YP-P2 which has a WQVGA resolution, which is pretty damn good for video.... The others can probably play videos, but are quite obviously meant for music.....
If you're gonna post a comment, at least read the freaking article so u dont make a fool of yourself. And stop with the iphone comparisons for god's sake..... No1 cares! God i hate apple fanboys......

Hey Samsung!!
How about about making the device with touch screen slightly bigger and squeezing down a 40GB HDD, and you'll get $299 in return?
Alex @ Aug 16th 2007 4:13PM
i prefer to have flash 8gig then the 40gig, just me though
Sam @ Aug 16th 2007 4:54PM
Must... have... Bluetooth... gimmee!
Dark Zero @ Aug 16th 2007 8:27PM
Is it me or is this thing just hideously ugly?
ark_v2 @ Aug 16th 2007 9:41PM
It's you
ark_v2 @ Aug 16th 2007 9:41PM
It's you
sdny @ Aug 16th 2007 9:47PM
haha, i agree...it is quite ugly, looks like one of those digital picture frames.
the YP-T10 looks very nice though.
jem @ Aug 17th 2007 4:05AM
engadget are the biggest samsung fanboys! how many blogs do they have to have with samsung?
PeteC @ Aug 17th 2007 6:15AM
Hmm the K5 appears to work as a VOIP phone over bluetooth judging by the picture on generationmp3.com that has a screen witha bluetooth sign saying call by number. Interesting feature but I'd rather have a fully fledged phone.
Galley @ Aug 17th 2007 9:20AM
Do they support AAC?
TA @ Aug 18th 2007 12:39AM
The P2 is nice. Too bad it's going to Europe first..
mrn @ Aug 19th 2007 12:35PM
these machines need a decent text input for TAG edition, Playlist creation, note taking, etc. The same holds for the F300, F500 lines of the Samsung phones, equipped with the
same arrangement of Display -touchpad.
A suitable touchpad.driven on-screen keyboard, with a very fast only two touch per character is demonstrated here.

if those phones would have java support, i would write a demo notepad.
but they do not have. so, sony will rule this again....
