Galaxy Player - Android Alternate To iPod Touch

[::: VA ::: 531]

After a lame attempt by Cowon & Creative in the bandwagon of Android devices we have Samsung releasing a beauty.

Though not many of you might share the view of keeping media player, camera & phone distinct. But for many its the only

way. We all know how none of phones can actually compete with a camera and believe it or not its the same when it comes

to music or videos. We will not get into that debate here and rather focus on this beauty.

Much like its siblings but without mixing a phone in it. We can say its like ipod touch & iphone.

But man am I more than glad to see it. It comes in two screen sizes 4" & 5".

Nice, but only 1200mAh battery and 3.2 MP camera could have been upgraded.

The battery certainly could have been better considering it would be essentially used for long hours of music playing without recharge. Camera... well since it is a music player with a camera (rather than the other way around!) I guess 3 MP seems sufficient. However, we are never ever satisfied with anything we get!
