Samsung Galaxy Player

Monday, January 3, 2011

     For a while, there was no real alternative to the Apple iPod Touch. It was the only MP3 player with a touchscreen that could do everything a smart phone can do. Until now. Samsung recently introduced it's Samsung Galaxy Player 50.
     This media player runs Android 2.1, can access the real Android Market, has built in WiFi, a 3.2 mega-pixel rear facing camera, and integrated GPS. These specs seem great, even better than th iPod Touch, but how can we confirm them. Samsung does not have an official page for the player, unless, of course, you can read Russian. But translating that page with Google Translate really did the job well.
     The price range is reported to be about the price of the iPod Touch, and will come in 8, 16, and 32GB variations. It is available for pre-order from Amazon UK for £149.99, and is not expected in the US until summer.
     The Samsung site gives this device the following specs:

     This device overall looks very compelling, especially for the fluent Android user. And since UK will have it January 7th, 2011, we should expect some reviews soon. Also, popular tech writers such as Engadget already have the device, and are posting reviews on it.
     Although the US might not see it for a while, it might be worth waiting for it. Also, if you happen to have a friend in the UK, you could have it shipped to his house and get it from him. So if you are a avid Android user, and are in the market for an iPod Touch-like device, the Samsung Galaxy player 50 might just be the right choice.

ӏt іis possible too that multiplayer games maay Ƅe lacking in other ƿlayers
to compete against. What made the game special was that there werе rules to facilitate comƄat
as well as non-combat encounters, bringing the 'adventure' to
the gaming tablе. But having a part that performs only "as good" as the last
gen doeѕn'tmake senѕe, doess it. Delete the game
yourself оr ask your confidant to block the sites աith a secured paѕѕԝord,
to stop your urge, else yߋu will keep returning to the
webѕites or software that indulged yօuu in for addiϲtіoո.

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog
has a lot of exclusive content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it
up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help reduce content from
being ripped off? I'd really appreciate it.
