Samsung Quietly Unleashes Two New PMPs
Posted in: MP3, MP3 Digital Audio, PMP, samsung, Today's Chili
Easily lost among the slew of announcements made by Samsung today: The company has two new modestly-priced portable media players, the R1 and the R0. The R1, which should be shipping any day now, comes in 8GB ($149.99) and 16GB ($179.99) and the R0, which will be
available in April, comes in 8GB ($99.99) and 16GB ($129.99), as well.
I got a chance to play with both players briefly today at the Samsung event in NYC. The R1 is minute and features a touch-screen, while the not-quite-as-small R0 uses physical buttons below its display. These are simple players meant to compete with the iPod nano; don’t be fooled by the touch-screen–this is not an iPod touch competitor.
