MP3 Players > 16 GB to 32 GB MP3 Players > Samsung

Do not buy this product

Advantages: Quick to upload music
Disadvantages: Very unreliable

...mini and going for the samsung yh-920. At first i was very impressed by the mp3 as it took no time at all for the software to load to the computer and put the music onto the ipod. I also was imprssed with the price of £120 from ebay which was £10 cheaper than the ipod mini at the time. However, after a few weeks, problems started to occur. When you turned it on it would turn on but the screen and music would not. There would just be a quiet wizzing ...
...difficult to link to the mp3 player. I investigated the problem of it not turning on on the internet an found that if you pressed the napster logo below the screen when pressing the on button this would help. I tried it and reliability improved slightly but it still did not turn on everytime so as a result i sent it back to the sender and got a refund. I then bought a ipod mini and have had no problems with it since. ...

Review of Samsung YEPP YH-920 20 GB

Samsungs iPod beater

Advantages: Great sound, MP3 / colour photo / video / FM / games, smart design
Disadvantages: does'nt have the kudos of the iPod

...This is simple with the Samsung software which converts them to MP3's. Apart from the already present music, photo and video folders in the unit you can easily create your own folders and use the device as an external HDD for extra storage, file transfer or back up. This is also real easy. It has 5 games included I have not used them but hey are; Othello - win stones by placing then either diagonally, horizonal or vertically Omok - win the game ...
...have not really used the Samsung provided software. Samsung actually includes a very useful looking multimedia studio software which includes image and video editing. The image capture to take still images from video is a nice feature. Summary I only bought my 20Gb iriver 3 months ago and was dissapointed by it's large size and lack of video playback. After some research I choose the samsung as a replacement. I am no longer dissapointed, the samsung ...

Review of Samsung YH-J70SB 20 GB

The best thing i ever bought

Advantages: Practical,fast charging, very entertaining, great value for money
Disadvantages: No mains charger, very basic instruction manual, the user must have a computer to use it

An absolutely outstanding product. It does everything but computer does but with no loading up. Many entertaining games that kept even a serious gamer like myself amused, i wont leave home without it now. Of course there is the usual Ipod features like music and videos, but this time with many differant ways to organise and listen to them. I must admit it did seem strange at first that such a complex product was sold without a mains charger and a ...
...USB cable to be used for charging, and its pretty easy to get used to, although there is an instrution manual availible online. The instruction manual being around 170 pages long, so i can understand why it wasnt included, the size of the box it came in was tiny however, not much bigger than the product. I do find it useful for when im around town, were i can get wi-fi access at Mcdonalds, Starbucks, Witherspoons...ect. Its a great gift for anyone ...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

Basic but good mp3 player.

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Basic functionality

I had this mp3 player for a couple of years and I grew to really like it. Please note that newer more fancy mp3 players are available now, although I bought mine a few years back. The player is reliable and never broke down. It is easy to use and you don't need to ever read the instruction manual. The display screen is small, but you can still see whatever you need to see. When looking at lists of songs you can see 3 songs displayed on screen ...
...great. I bought better ones for around 10 pounds seperately. The sound quality is good, and so is the FM radio. You can't watch videos on this, its only for music, and there is no connectivity to the internet either. You can't read books on this, nor are there any games. It's not a telephone. This is not the best player you can buy! However as a value for money proposition it worked for me. ...

Review of iRiver Prism T60 2GB

iPod touch 8GB - Personal Opinion

Advantages: light, games, work and play in one device, Wi-fi and bluetooth** enabled (**needs 3.1 software)
Disadvantages: quite light and easily can be damaged

...you can download from the Apple App Store; you can access a Wi-Fi network with internet access through your iPod Touch enabling you to read your emails, read news, weather updates, take notes, download other apps to your iPod or can do this through your computer instead if you wish. Whether for fun or for business there are apps that you'll want, some free, some that'll require a purchase but you'll find what you're looking for 9 times out of 10. ...
...from the internet or from apple itunes. The iPod touch syncs with itunes where you can make changes to what is put on the iPod, this includes apps, music, videos & movies, photos, be careful to manage the 8GB capacity though. Bluetooth is available with this product but with 3.0/3.1 software or higher, enabling connections to bluetooth devices e.g.: mobile phone or speakers. 3.1 Software release costs (last checked) £2.99 if it not already built ...
