Samsung Yepp YP-55V Review

Posted by timothy on from the toss-in-ogg-fellas dept.

daanger0us writes "RAM based MP3 players are still pretty popular. As hard drive based MP3 players get larger storage capacity, the RAM based MP3 players have to add new features to keep themselves compelling to customers. The Samsung Yepp YP-55V is one of the RAM based MP3 players that's added some pretty cool features at a reasonable price. 256MB of RAM, FM Tuner, ability to record from a line-in, from the FM Tuner and voice recording, USB Drive capabilities, upgradeable firmware, weighing in at 2.2 ounces all for around $160. Designtechnica has a full review. How many people still consider a RAM based audio player when shopping?" Update: 09/03 22:11 GMT by T : That should be "MB," not "MG" as it originally read.

    Yes, this product certainly does distinguish itself. I've never seen a product containing 256 Megagytes of memory!

      It was perfectly clear to me that this product produces a magnetic field of 256,000,000 gauss. I'd get one, but I wouldn't be able to keep my credit cards anywhere near it.

    There are a huge number of yeast infections in this county. Probably because we're downriver from the bread factory.

    I was going to say the same thing. Who wants a couple of pounds slamming against your side when you are exercising? Do you really take your ipod with you when you go jogging, or what have you.

    Then I thought... Oh wait, this is slashdot. Never mind.
