Samsung YP-R1 8GB Comments

All very nice, but will I be able to buy one this time, Samsung?? I'm thinking of the situation with the P3 - fantastic machine, impossible to get hold of - does the term vapourware apply to hardware?

Colour me interested, especially the 16gb version.

Now if only they had included a micro SD slot.

I'm a very happy user of a P2 4gb (bought when it first came out), thinking of upgrading to the P3 or the R1 in 16gb guise (both about that same price as the P2, w 4x the memory!)- Anybody have input as to which one is better? Sound quality is most important, but am partial to the occasional i-player download too.

Nice review!

I would like to know 2 things though...

Is there a separate charger port on the player? i.e. can you charge it with an adapter? Or it can be charged only via the USB cable?

2. The TV-Out cable which it uses, are they the normal ones like the Creative Zen Vision W? or special one's like the iPod with a proprietary connector?

Thanks.

I bought this player instead of Sony S-series because you wrote about the great format support including AAC, however it won´t play AAC from Itunes plus. Thats disappointing.

I saw this today in Comet! Boy oh boy is it small seriously! and it packs all that

But there's no music shuffle, I don't want to choose tracks or albums, I want the surprise of hearing tracks I'd forgotten. Or is it there and I'm missing it?
