Samsung YP-T9JQB Review

- At $125 (as of 1/9/07), the Samsung YP-T9JQB is an affordable alternative to the iPod Nano. It's small and light, fits easily into your hand, and has a smooth, attractive surface. The model we tested comes with 2GB of internal flash memory, but a 4GB unit is available for $180. Unlike the Nano, the T9 has a built-in FM radio for when you need a break from your own sounds, and a built-in microphone for recording voice memos.

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Plays many audio formats, videos, images, records, FM tuner and games.

    Weaknesses: Video resolution is limited.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a really great MP3 player. For the price and features offered, this is a big bargain! The MP3 player itself is very small and thin. The LCD is the perfect size. The interface menu is easy to use and navigate. Transferring files to the MP3 player using the software that came with the product is so simple and fast. The software is even compatible with Windows Vista! The FM tuner picks up radio stations with a clear quality sound. The voice recording quality is fantastic. It even records FM tuner radio stations. Overall, I am very pleased with this MP3 player. It offers more features than an Apple Ipod and way much cheaper with a quality brand; Samsung. Highly recommend this product.

Everyone raves about the addition of a video camera to the iPod Nano, but is it really that impressive?
