We've already seen Samsung's
Q2 and
U5 media players out and about, but just today the company has made the pair official here in the US of A. Starting with the YP-Q2 PMP, you'll find both 8GB and 16GB variants with 50 hours of battery life, a 2.4-inch QVGA display, black and white color options, DNSe 3.0 sound enhancement technology, FM radio / recorder, a text viewer and a Smart Button that allows the user to designate a specific function for quick access. The YP-U5, on the other hand, was tailor made for gym rats; said audio stick sports a touchpad, 1-inch OLED display, USB connectivity, up to 20 hours of playback, an FM radio module and 2GB of internal storage. Check 'em this April for $99.99 (8GB Q2), $129.99 (16GB Q2) and $39.99 (U5).

does it play video?
The YP-Q2 does. But not the YP-U5, which has only a 4-line OLED. But both of these two thingies are just ugly ugly ugly, man.
wtf, where is the P3?
O nm, it is announced through the 'Read' link but not in this post....why?
one is ancient and has < 0 innovations and the other one is ugly and looks cheap. Oh and if you are going to include such a large display why didn't you make it a touch screen? It feels like it's missing something as it is.
I really like the 50hr battery life and the pricing is decent, although $99 for the 16gb would have been much better. Probably missing new tech like Wifi and Bluetooth, and external speaker, which is not good considering the competition. Oh well. I'll pic up a refurb for $50 a few months after release.
