Product Description: The 8GB YP-P2 MP3 is the first Samsung MP3 widescreen (16x9) video player with an optimized touchscreen user interface. It also offers Bluetooth capability. The P2 comes ready to pair with stereo Bluetooth 2.0 headphones and speaker systems to provide high quality wireless listening. The P2 plays MPEG4 and WMV9 video files in 16:9 DVD friendly format. Samsung Multimedia Software included with the P2 transcodes the video on the computer before transferring to the P2, so videos on the P2 play at the optimal frame size/rate with minimal effort from the user. P2 will also playback at up to 30 frames per second, twice the category average! The touch-screen interface named EmoTrue goes beyond just tapping the screen. Users can swipe a finger across the screen for functions like fast forward or next picture. The built-in FM Tuner will scan the entire FM range in less than 60 seconds and automatically place the available FM stations into presets. To eliminate stations with marginal reception, users can adjust the sensitivity to only preset stations with strong reception.

This MP3 player sports a touchscreen interface and built-in Bluetooth. View larger.


The P2 comes ready to pair with stereo Bluetooth 2.0 headphones and speaker systems to provide high-quality wireless listening. For added convenience, the P2 is able to pair with up to two devices at the same time. Full integration with cell phones will be available via a firmware upgrade in November 2007. Users can even set up datacasts (podcasts) by using the SMS software that comes on the included installation disk.

The Samsung P2 is an 8 GB Flash-based portable media player with a three-inch widescreen LCD and a slim-style form factor. Capable of video, music, photo, and FM radio playback, the P2 lets you enjoy your favorite media files wherever you go. The player supports video playback in MPEG4, SVI, and WMV9 file formats and audio playback in MP3, WMA, and subscription WMA file formats. JPEG files can be viewed as pictures or slideshows.

Packed with such additional features as an alarm clock, world clock, and calendar functionality, the P2 is an extremely multifunctional media player. The P2 also comes with a file viewer, which you can use to view and delete any file on the device without the PC. The P2 supports up to 30 hours of music or five hours of video playback with every full charge of its internal Li-Poly rechargeable battery. The P2's battery charges whenever the device is connected to an active USB link. Compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems, the P2 measures 3.94 x 2.05 x 0.39 inches and weighs just 2.88 ounces.



Audio playback supports MP3, WMA, and subscription WMA.

Any JPEG on the P2 can become wallpaper.

YP-P2: An Excellent DAP

by B. Luckus 2008-02-14, 5 people found this review helpful
I bought this player a month ago and I must say I am not disappointed in the least. First of all, the device itself is a great size. It is not too small and definitely not too big. The screen is clear and bright. The user interface is pretty good. If you haven't used many touch screens before there is a learning curve. I like the fact that there are dedicated volume buttons on the device.

The sound is crisp and clear. There are many sound customizations and choices. First there is the DNSe which has preprogrammed sound enhancements (i.e. Studio, Club, Concert Hall...). There is also a User selection which gives you access to the EQ settings. I personally like the Street Mode which helps block out some of the background noise. I do suggest getting a good set of stereo headphones or ear buds to get the full enjoyment of the sound.

Video on the P2 is amazing. There is an included animated short (about 10 minutes)on the player. This lets you experience video right away. I don't have much use of video since i bought this primarily as a music player, but after watching the video, I think I may put a couple of my favorite shorts on it. Pictures are also viewable on the P2 and can be set as wallpaper. I am also looking forward to using the bluetooth feature of this player.

The only drawback to this player is that it is a fingerprint magnet. I found myself constantly wiping it down until I got a DLO case for it. I am looking at getting a Protech full body skin for my P2. It adds less than a mm of size to the P2 and is suppose to be virtually indestructible.

In short, This is a great alternative to the iPod touch. Ive seen both and like the P2 better. I am currently running firmware 2.08 which has improved the UI. Firmware 3.07 is due out soon which will include games.

An excellent Anti-Apple

I don't pretend to be an expert on portable DAPs. This is only my second one (up from a Palm Zire 72 with PocketTunes).

Screen is sharp and bright. Audio quality with the included earbuds is right on par with my Logitech X-530 surround speakers (even with 128kbps MP3s). The 7-band EQ really makes a difference when properly tuned (use a preset from WinAmp or Windows Media Player as a guide). The interface is smooth and responsive, and it works great as a bluetooth headset with my phone (Motorola V195). Can even use it with a bluetooth enabled PC and Skype. Red vs Blue videos look good too.

Words of advise: Windows Media Player is a better option for syncing music, and drag WMVs directly to the device using Windows Explorer (works better). Install the included application anyways for datacasts. Get the firmware update ASAP (samsung.com).

Sleek, Attractive Ipod touch killer!

Samsung makes great products, and the P2 is evidence of one of them.
Some people are claiming that the P2 is over-priced (yet it's $50 less than the ipod touch). Think of it this way, you're paying a little extra for the beautiful touch screen and superior sound quality. Watching a video on the P2 is definitely enjoyable with its vivid color with the high resolution screen.
What other player has 3 menu styles?

And guess what, Samsung is going to roll out a series of updates free to download for every P2 owner that are going to make the player EVEN better.
Want to listen to your player without worrying that you're going to get a call? No problem. New updates will connect your cell phone via bluetooth, allowing you to make and answer calls from your player. Wow.
The updates will have more menu styles, touch games (yay!), and FM and voice recording. Later on Samsung will make even more updates with unfathomable features.
The P2 currently has more features than the Ipod touch.
It feels so light in my hand, I'm not even kidding. Fits right into your pocket.
As for accessories, the P2 is new but soon there will be many accessories including an FM transmitter, wi-fi, and speaker all-in-one plug in.
Oh yea, the headphones that come with it don't fall out of your ears!

Ok, so enough praising. The bad:
The touch screen is accurate for the most part, but sometimes it does mess up (I'm not gonna lie).
The screen protector that came with it gave lots of bubbles when I tried to apply it, so I took it off. I'd suggest buying a case for it instead of using the screen protector.
There's no home charger! You have to charge it through your computer...
Unfortunately, Itunes is better than the software that comes with the P2.

Not many cons, this is a great player and worth the extra cash.
It would be a great Christmas present, plus it's not like the ipod where everyone has one!
