Samsung P2 MP3 Player - Apple iPod Alternative?
Is the Samsung P2 really an alternative to the Apple iPod Nano? Well, in a word, yes! The Samsung P2 plays video, has a touch screen, bluetooth and a FM radio. But does it has the Nano’s gorgeous looks, sure does - see more images and a video of the Samsung P2 at the T3 website. The P2 has a screen built for video, its bright, sharp and ideal for 16:9 Music videos and films. The Touchscreen interactive display makes the P2 very easy to use, and with a choice of 3 styles it puts the user in control of how they use their P2. Bluetooth 2.0 implemented allows 2 sets of headphones to be paired with the P2 with A2DP (advanced audio streaming) and AVRCP – remote control via Bluetooth. Sound quality is superb thanks to DNSE 2.0 so sound can be reproduced the way it was intended through sound personalization, user equalizer settings and bass extension features. The Samsung P2 is just 9.9mm thick but yet still manages to cram in loads of features. At around £130 for 8Gb, its an affordable alternative too. Want One?

All New Apple iPod Nano
September 2007 - Apple® introduced the all new iPod® nano to the world, bringing video playback and a new design to the world’s most popular music player. The new iPod nano has a larger two-inch display that lets users watch their favorite films, TV shows and music videos in the same resolution they currently enjoy on the video iPod. iPod nano delivers up to 24 hours of audio playback or five hours of video playback on a single charge, and is encased in a beautiful new all-metal design made with anodized aluminum and polished stainless steel and comes in five new colors; silver, black, blue, green and a red special edition. Want One?
The new iPod Nano features a 320 x 240 pixel screen with 24 hours of audio playback. Its a really beautiful looking iPod and in my view takes this iconic device to the next level but without leaving its heritage behind. The company have also recently released the sleek iPod Touch.
Since its launch in November 2001, Apple have sold more than 110 million iPods. iPod sales account for about 30 per cent of Apple’s revenues and along with its world leading iTunes store makes for a huge success story.
Apple iPhone Launches with O2
Apple announced this week that they will be launching their much awaited iPhone in the UK with a deal exclusive to O2. The cost of the iphone at launch will be £269 (approx $540) which compares to an initial launch price of $599 in the US, although prices for the 8Gb have just been slashed in the US.
You’ll have to sign up to a 18 month contract if you want one though. Is it worth it? On the basis that it’s a phone, an ipod, a way of browsing the web and watching tv - yes I reckon so.
I launched an iPhone product review site sometime last year. Forgive the basic nature of the site but at the time I just wanted to get news about this new smartphone out. Whilst basic in design, it’s got everything you’d ever want to know about the iPhone on it.
With over 1 million iPhone having been sold in the US already, the Apple / O2 launch date of 9th November 2007 is timed perfectly for the all important Christmas sales period - just form a queue behind me!
To check availability see The Carphone Warehouse, the O2 Shop or Phones Direct 247.
