Samsung P3 – Can It Stand Up Against The iPod Touch?
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009
With all the touch-screen MP3 players coming out now which ones give you the most bang for you buck? Surely the iTouch is the MP3 player to beat, but does the Samsung P3 hold its own? Well first of all, the Samsung feels a little more heavy duty than the iTouch. In addition to a thin, sturdy design, the P3 has a beautiful 3-inch, 480×272 WQVGA touch-screen. Not only does the Samsung display gorgeous, vivid colors, but the touch-screen controls are surprisingly easy to use. The P3 also sounds as good as it looks. It offers a huge variety of multimedia support, FM radio, and voice recording. A cool new extra is the P3’s A2DP Bluetooth support. This allows you to listen to music through Bluetooth headphones and manage phone calls through the P3. The Samsung also comes bundled with a bunch of cool widgets, which Samsung promises to offer more of through updates.
Although the Samsung P3 may not make you want to get rid of your iTouch, but you may not need to shell out all of that cash in the first place. The best part of the P3 is that it is about $100 less than the iTouch. Though it’s cheaper, the P3 combines excellent sound quality, a gorgeous touch-screen display, 40 hour battery life, and all around solid performance. Though it lacks Wi-Fi, the P3 is a cheaper, high performing alternative to the iTouch.
