Samsung YP-T10 iPod nano killer

Three words describe my reaction to Samsung’s new flash based MP3 player – I like it. Normally these little players feel insubstantial, but the T10 feels solid and sturdy. I love the simple design and the matt black aluminum looks perfect. The only issue I can take with it is the easy to smudge front screen. Having said that, it’s designed to play video, so what should I expect?

The touch sensitive navigation pad is a joy to use and a welcome change from Apple copies. Samsung have actually come up with their own highly usable interface and although I am not a hundred percent impressed with the cartoon dog that comes with the interface or the incredibly annoying sound effects. I guess that just goes to show I am getting old and no doubt this will appeal to the younger market. Anyone daft enough to pay for a ringtone for their phone will more than likely enjoy this.

The sound quality is superb, perhaps even better than it’s obvious rival, the iPod nano. If anything, the picture quality on the tiny 2 inch screen is even better than the sound – crisp, sharp images and very little delay. The Samsung YP-T10 aslo comes with a nifty built in microphone and voice recorder, stereo Bluetooth, a text file browser and an integrated FM stereo radio. Did I say I like it yet?
