Samsung?s Galaxy Player is a pretty sweet-looking pocket computer, and is the first real competition we have seen for the iPod Touch, a product that has sat in its own market niche since it was launched. The Galaxy Player runs Android 2.1 and packs in enough features to shame Apple?s media-player. Here?s the commercial:
Pretty neat, right? The ad even takes Apple?s approach to simply showing what the hardware does, which ? as you can see ? is quite a lot. There?s a 2MP camera, 8/16GB internal storage plus a microSD slot for expansion, a 3.2-inch touch screen, GPS, an FM radio, Wi-Fi and built-in DivX support. What it doesn?t have is the Touch?s front-facing camera or its hi-res retina display.
The Galaxy Player is already on sale in France priced at ?200 for the 8GB and ?250 for 16GB. This is most likely to translate directly to $200 and $250 when the player comes stateside, possibly as soon as this month. This little device looks great. I wonder why nobody has managed to do this before?
