  Strengths: GOOD PAPER WEIGHT!

  Weaknesses: PLAYED AROUND WITH IT FOR 3 MONTHS AND STILL UNABLE TO UPLOAD MUSIC SUCCESSFULLY. (AND IT'S NOT USER ERROR!!!!)WITHOUT A DOUBT THE WORST PRODUCT I HAVE EVER OWNED!

  Overall: Should of realised the mistake I had made purchasing another Samsung product after a disaster with a camera of the same brand I brought. All I can say is "POOR CUSTOMER SUPPORT, PRODUCT AND WISH I HAD NEVER BROUGHT IT". Spent hours trying to get this to work but after several sarcastic comments from the wife like "Should of learn't from the camera you brought" I was happy to dispose it at a car boot for a tenner. (despite paying £120.00):(

  Strengths: Excellent storage capacity (15 and 20 GB models available)Ease of useUpgrade available for software (at additional cost from software provider Musicmatch)--recommended.

  Weaknesses: Lack of replaceable battery.A bit bulky if planning to use while excercising.

  Overall: A great product value for the price. If you are already a Dell owner, the Musicmatch system is probably already on your system. If not a Dell owner, the basic Musicmatch comes with the unit. Check with Dell for current pricing and "deals" as pricing with Dell changes with weekly specials (I've never seen them raise a price from a base which for the 20 GB model is $329, mine came at $279 due to weekly pricing).Purchasing the upgrade to Musicmatch from their website will allow for additional features that are well worth the additional purchase price. Keep in mind, however, that this upgrade in software is from the software provider and not from Dell. The basic program is fine and works well but a bit slow. The upgrade allows for quicker ripping and when using while connected to the internet you can have it look for track information (saving typing time).All in all a good unit but I would prefer that Dell provide in future models the ability to replace worn batteries (or have a spare to be able to charge and swap out). Their current model while holding the charge quite well doesn't allow for this. When the battery dies, that's it.

  Strengths: It has a pretty good radio and has a massive storage capacity.

  Weaknesses: When you use the radio sometimes (depending wher you are) you have to move the mp3 around to get a good clear signal.

  Overall: Overall it is a good durable mp3 player. A YP-910 has a 20 gig memory, a built in fm tuner, a leather case , 20 free songs from napster, and lasts 10 hours on a single charge. It is very easy to use. For example when you turn it on all you do is click on library and browse which song you want to listen to. The volume is high quality too.

  Strengths: Great player for the price.

  Weaknesses: FM Transmitter Sucks, it only has 5 possible station in the 88hz range. MP3 uploading require Napster software.

  Overall: I use this player for driving long distance. It's great for the price I paid for $199 shipping included. Get a Belkin Tunecast II if you want to listen it in the car but don't have a tape deck or aux in. I just wish there is another way to input audio in my car

  Strengths: This player has ample storage space and lots of nice features like the FM transmitter, recording from radio, and encoding MP3s.

  Weaknesses: This unit was very confusing to operate and would often freeze. It would have to be reset and this process took up to 15 minutes.

  Overall: For all of the nice features that it had, this player was not extremely good at any one of them. Besides being confusing to operate, the volume of the output was lower than others, tracks could not be edited with the player but had to be done through a computer with Windows XP or higher. Also the hard drive inside the player was loud to others in the vicinity. They complained of hearing it "spin up" everytime the song changed. The display was not very user friendly. The screen was difficult to read and maneuvering through it was not simple. Using this unit in the car via either the line-in or FM transmitter features is dangerous. The FM transmitter left something to be desired as well. The transmitter could not be expected to overtake actual radio stations, but it should be able to manage a clear signal to a station that is pure static. The static would still come through the music. The player must also be perched in a position to get the best signal quality and then never touched. Once touched the sound would turn to static. As for the freezing, the product would stop in mid-song for no apparent reason (no buttons pressed or other operations attempted) and not respond to any attempts to help it. The player has a very well hidden reset button under the "Hold" button on the left-side of the screen. This button would have to be held down for 5 seconds with the head of a needle and then the unit would shut-down. However, it would often take from 10 to 30 minutes to get the player to power up again. This "reset" feature did not completely erase all of the storage (which could be a problem if wishing to resell). Overall, this product needs more fine tuning. The features it has would be absolutely awesome if they were easier to use and actually delivered the digital quality that the unit's packaging promised.
