Samsung Yepp YP-55V Review

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.

And it's Apple's fault?

...But at the same time they always try to sell you the most expensive one. Here in Bay Area it is impossible to find 10 GB version of iPod. All BestBuys and Fried electronics have only 30 GB versions (for extra $200)...

So it's Apple's fault that the stores in your area don't have sufficient stock? Somehow, the 3 stores (2 Best Buy, 1 Frys) I just checked here in Vegas all had the 10GB and the 30GB. And scores of places online have all three models. It sounds to me like the 10GB model is very popular in your area and that stores there haven't quite adjusted their buying to reflect that. Regardless, I fail to see how lack of stock in your area means that Apple only wants to sell you the most expensive one and screw you otherwise. If that was really the case, they wouldn't have three models of the iPod to begin with.

Then Google's wrong. Check your sources, none of these has a CF slot.
